  required String content,
  required bool isSender,
  required List<Map<String, dynamic>> reaction,
  List<Map<String, String>>? attachments,
}) async {
  try {
    /// Initialize GetStorage for data persistence
    final box = GetStorage();

    /// Create a new message using the message schema
    var newMessage = messageSchema(

    sundayPrint(messages);

    /// Add the new message to the list of messages
    newMessages.add(newMessage);

    /// Persist the updated messages back to storage
