 *  The message can be a text message or media message, depending on how it is initialized.
 *  It implements the `JSQMessageData` protocol and it contains the senderId, senderDisplayName,
 *  and the date that the message was sent. If initialized as a media message it also contains a media attachment,
 *  otherwise it contains the message text.
