There are 2 ways to achieve same from server end

1) Emit event to both user separately 2) Broadcast event to array of user(In your case senderId, reciverId)

Here i am enclosing broadcast function considering you are already aware with emit.

client.broadcast.to(arrayOfIds).emit('eventName', {
                data: "somedata"
            });

Here, arrayOfIds : Array of Id of Recivers, i.e.(Id Of sender and Id Of receiver)

This function with send event to both user, including sender him self.
