What is iMessage?

Stay actively involved in the conversations that matter most to you by sharing texts, images, videos, and more. The Messages app available on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch facilitates smooth communication. You can enrich your messaging interactions with animated effects, prioritize key discussions by pinning them, send inline responses, and mention others. With iOS 14, you can pin up to nine conversations for quick access, as these pinned discussions are conveniently displayed at the top of the Messages app. Furthermore, starting from iOS 13 and continuing in later versions, including iPadOS, users can share their name and photo when they send or respond to messages, with options that include Memoji or a customized image. The Messages app also functions as the text messaging tool for Mac users, allowing them to communicate via iMessage and SMS or MMS through their iPhone. On Mac, you can send a limitless number of messages to any compatible device, whether it’s a Mac, iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch that supports iMessage. This seamless integration guarantees that your messaging experience is both consistent and user-friendly across all your Apple devices, making it easier than ever to stay connected. Whether you are at home or on the go, the versatility of Messages ensures you never miss a beat in your important conversations.

    Delete message functionality is too far away

    Date: Feb 06 2024
    Summary

    Having been an iPhone user for five years, I've consistently appreciated the excellent user experience it provides. I have no intention of switching to an Android phone, primarily due to its design approach. Interestingly, as a UI/UX designer, I've learned design principles by adhering to Google guidelines. It's fulfilling to review a product I genuinely enjoy and to suggest UX improvements :)

    Positive

    Fast communication.
    Enjoyable experience.
    Intuitive layouts overall.
    Empowering creativity.
    Simple and functional.

    Negative

    I suggest placing the Delete message option alongside or within the same menu as the reply, add sticker, copy, and translate options. This arrangement would make it easier to directly select and delete the last message, rather than having to navigate through a "More..." button. It would empower users to decide which message they want to delete independently.

    Great Messaging App

    Date: Aug 09 2021
    Summary

    If you have an Apple device, you already know how great iMessage is. Simple, yet robust, it's a great program!

    Positive

    Great communication tool. I can send text messages, picture messages, or video messages. I can even see when other people have viewed my messages so I know if they are ignoring me!

    Negative

    To best utilize all of its features, it needs to be used with other Apple products. Sending a message to someone on Android will not allow it to be used to its full potential. I wish you could schedule messages to be sent in the future.
