You can use the mirror effect On the image. by using same image for both sender and receiver

-(UIImage*)setBubbleImageForSender
{
    UIImage *image = [UIImage imageNamed:@"sender.png"];

    return image;
}

-(UIImage*)setBubbleImageForReceiver
{
    UIImage *image = [UIImage imageNamed:@"sender.png"];

    image = [UIImage imageWithCGImage:image.CGImage
                                scale:image.scale
                          orientation:UIImageOrientationUpMirrored];
    return image;
}

The above thing will change the arrow direction for the chat app.

for resizing the height and width you can use the [imgvw resizableImageWithCapInsets:..] for the imageview and set table cell height accordingly.

Thanks
