        <Button Grid.Row="0" Grid.Column="1"
                Text="Send"
                WidthRequest="100"
                Margin="2"
                Clicked="Button_Clicked"></Button>
        <sf:SfChat Grid.Row="1" Grid.ColumnSpan="2"
            Messages="{Binding Messages}"
            CurrentUser="{Binding Reciver}"

    </Grid>

Code Behind :

    public void Button_Clicked(object sender, EventArgs e)
    {
        if(!string.IsNullOrEmpty(this.entry.Text))
        {
            ViewModel.Messages.Add(new TextMessage()
            {
                Author = ViewModel.Sender,
                Text = this.entry.Text,
            }
           );
          this.entry.ClearValue(Entry.TextProperty);
        }
    }
