    iMessage deleting

    Anyone else find it very annoying to have to delete threads on every Apple device you own, one by one.... Every text from co workers, verification codes, weather alerts, bank messages, on and on... Having to delete these from iPhone, Macbook Pro, Apple Watch, iPad mini... is frustrating. I...

    Deleting messages on AW with just one swipe?

    I am new to the AW! When deleting a message on the watch, by swiping once right to left, it asks me if I want details or trash. After I tap on trash it asks again if I want to trash the message. I thought I saw an option to eliminate the question to trash a second time, but I haven't been able...

    Speculative question: iOS Message apps on macOS?

    Question for people with better understanding of the technical underpinnings of iOS Message apps. I've heard people complain that Apple didn't build in app support for macOS messages, but this seems to me more a business challenge than a real technical challenge: if Apple were to create a macOS...

    iOS10 Messages - Apps don't work

    Hi All, Getting to grips with iOS10 - within the Messages work, I can't work out why the Apps within Messages don't seem to work, the only ones that work are the official Apple ones (Like Apple Music, Image Search), the others just display the logo of the App when you swipe to it....

    Notifications not working for Messages on iPad

    I have an iPad Air, WiFi only. I have Messages set up on it to be able to send and receive messages and texts. Problem is, I'm not getting any notifications. The messages show up (only other iMessage users, not SMS), but I don't get any banner notifications at the top and the red notification...

    Potential Messages crash bug due to website previews

    Reported it to Apples Bug Reporter but for those who may have this happen I have a work around which will restore functionality but you will lose an entire text thread. Some links when pasted and sent may cause Messages to hang and crash when it tries to load the preview. In my case it happened...

    Messages push to watch despite actively using Messages on 10.12

    Has anyone else noticed this? I have macOS Sierra GM and watchOS 3 GM. I am actively typing with someone in Messages on Sierra, but the notifications are still going to my watch. It's kind of driving me nuts. This didn't happen before, if you clear a notification on one device it doesn't go to...

    Text messages backup option missing in iCloud/iPhone.

    Hi, I am trying to back up my old iPhone 6, when I go settings -> iCloud I cannot see option to back up my messages, when I log in to icloud.com I cannot see messages tab either. The iPhone has no sim card in it. Does it affect anything? Am I missing something obvious?

    Text Notifications iPhone 5S?

    Hi, After taking the plunge last year and getting myself a MacBook Pro (my first Apple product) I have just purchased an iPhone 5S after years of using an ancient Nokia handset (cue much laughter!) I am getting the hang of the iPhone but there is one thing bugging me. I often have the phone...

    iMessage works sporatically on El Capitan

    I have the exact same setup on my iMac and Macbook Air. On the iMac, the Messages app is flaky. Sometimes all messages sync up, sometimes they don't. I can be working on my iMac and an hour later I get a large flow of messages. I also get a lot of the red exclamation with the message "Not...

    Universal iMessage History and multiple devices

    I think I know the answer to this, but I wanted to check before making the switch and losing my history. So, I have iMessages and texts getting delivered to both my iPhone and my Mac. I noticed recently though that Messages on my iPhone is taking up over 4GB of space. I have it set to keep...

    Do stickers remain in iMessages media section?

    On iOS 9, when you look at your message details, you see all the media shared in the conversation. Currently, my conversations are full of gifs and bitmojis, and I imagine this will get worse with iOS 10's stickers implementation. Does anyone know if the stickers bypass the media folder? Do...

    Automatically clear old Messages

    In the process of doing some spring cleaning I had a thought - Is there a way (even if it's through an Apple script or something) to clear out old iMessages on OS X like there is on iOS? It's easy to set 30 days or a year on iOS, but I can't find any similar setting on OS X. I know my laptop...

    iMessage on Apple Device with non-iPhone Number

    Odd situation maybe, but if you have a Droid phone, and an iPad, is there a way to register the the phone number assigned to the Droid with iMessage so that when someone texts the number, it would come thru on the Droid, and on the iPad through iMessage?
