Modify cell contents in tableview after clicking in Swift - swift

Question

I have a chat app with 2 custom cells, sender and receiver cell. Once the cells are populated, only the ones with "show image" text can be clicked. I am trying to click on these cells so that
i can hide the label
I can show the image from the url
The tap function works but i am not able to do the above steps. Kindly help because i do not know how to go about this
Here is my code
#objc
func tapFunctionCell(sender:UITapGestureRecognizer) {
print("tap again sen")
let tapLocation = sender.location(in: tblViewChat)
let indexPath = self.tblViewChat.indexPathForRow(at: tapLocation)
let position = indexPath?.row ?? 0
print(position)
let cell = tblViewChat.dequeueReusableCell(withIdentifier: "senderCell") as! SenderTblCell
cell.lblMessage.isHidden = true
let url = URL(string:objChatVM.getMessage(index:position))
print(url)
cell.ImageB.kf.setImage(with:url)
cell.ImageB.isHidden = false
}
#objc
func tapFunction(sender:UITapGestureRecognizer) {
print("tap again receive")
let cell2 = tblViewChat.dequeueReusableCell(withIdentifier: "receiverCell") as! ReceiverTblCell
cell2.lblMessage.isHidden = false
let tapLocation = sender.location(in: tblViewChat)
let indexPath = self.tblViewChat.indexPathForRow(at: tapLocation)
let position = indexPath?.row ?? 0
print(position)
let url = URL(string:objChatVM.getMessage(index:position))
print(url)
cell2.imageButton.kf.setImage(with:url)
cell2.imageButton.isHidden = false
}

Issues in your tap function code. When you want to get a cell from the index path use the cellForRow method of table view. so instead of this
let cell = tblViewChat.dequeueReusableCell(withIdentifier: "senderCell") as! SenderTblCell
use this for both tap action.
let cell = tblViewChat.cellForRow(at: indexPath) as! SenderTblCell
