I know it is an old thread, but maybe this will be helpful.

In place where you add new message:

yourRVAdapter.addMessage("New message")
val position = yourRVAdapter.itemCount.minus(1) // itemCount will return the size of RV items 
//Now just call your recyclerView.scrollToPosition(int)
chatRV.scrollToPosition(position)
