Here's What Apple's iOS 19 Messages App Might Look Like

[TimFL1]

I wish they could redesign the keyboard, I always hit the period button on safari and the keys are to close, the keyboard needs updating

Maybe the technology is there come June for a numbers row on the biggest screen sizes?

 

[MNWildFan]

A number row would be very welcome too.

I couldn't agree more with this

I mean, the iPhone's screen whether you have the regular size or the Plus or Max size, is large enough to where the OS could easily incorporate an extra row for numbers

Having to tap another button just to change it to the numbers and symbols keys is super annoying and it's that right there that has made me do dictation for messages all the more now even when I'm not in my car with CarPlay

 

[MNWildFan]

Thank god this is a Prosser "leak". At least I know with upmost confidence this won't be what iOS 19 looks like because wow would that be a disappointing redesign.

Right???

Yeah, if anything, the one that is pretty much spot on when it comes to anything Apple is that of Mark Gurman

I trust him before anyone else

 

[seanmcbay]

Looks pretty damn bad.

Circular app icons = Android.
Hope they don't do this.

Jon Prosser

Please stop giving this guy attention…

 

[nxt3]

is it too late to get on the Prosser hate train? stop giving this guy a platform.

Exactly. Can’t believe MacRumors posted this garbage lmao

I guess we will know in 76 days.

 

[AppleofyourI]

OK? I guess?

Honestly, I would settle with staying with iOS 18 for another year. Spend the next year making iOS 18 perfect and rolling out a useful Apple Intelligence. Then do iOS 19 in Fall 2026.

Would anyone care if iOS looked the same until September 2026 but continually got less buggy and more stable with more usable AI features? I can't imagine folks would be upset...

Not watching a clickbait video titled "iOS 19 looks WEIRD"

 

[tkermit]

Reminds me of the look of the capacitive sensors on an old Cinema display or third-generation iPod.

I'll appreciate having something closer to "real" buttons again instead of just text.

 

[Captain_Awesome]

Full redesign for messages? What are you, f*cking high? There's nothing new except a bubble around the keyboard. That looks stupid af

 

[xxFoxtail]

Wasn’t this guy's source outed a year or so ago? Who would want to leak him new info?

 

[dmk1974]

Ah, good. It’s Prosser so this is what it *won’t* look like.

But seriously - that keyboard looks like android gingerbread when you zoom in on it. I get it’s a mockup, but that just looks bad.

Side note: fingers crossed we can get a number row on top lol

Number row on top is the ONLY thing I've wanted for almost 2 decades now. Is it that hard for them? At least give the option!!!

 

[gridlocked]

one change I really hope we can get are two different toggles and sliders for sounds.

I would love to have my phone ringtone turned down but my alert/text/mail sound loud.

There are so many decent alert sounds but I can’t use them because they aren’t loud and if I turn up the volume the ring tone sound blasts out like it could shatter the sound barrier.

Or a toggle that lets me turn off the ringer completely but allow me to have alert sounds on.

Would be great to add my own alert sounds also, across the board

 

[upandown]

Referring to the messages mock up.. so basically almost the exact same.

 

[WhackyNinja]

Prosser noted that the Messages app and the Home Screen have not seen significant redesigns in iOS 19, despite rumors that we're going to see the biggest redesign since iOS 7.

Bro either Prosser got an early alpha or Mark Gurman straight up lied by saying this would be a big redesign

 

[Spunk Bubble]

It's 2025. Who cares.

 

[StudioMacs]

I’m confused about how this mockup can be said to be based on visionOS. This is messages on visionOS:

im thinking Jon is right, and apple has done a minor change, and mark is wrong, everything has been disappointed with apple

 

[Belisama]

It furiously looks like the iOS 18 Messages app.
Mmmmmmm... The coming WWDC smells like a revolution. I can't wait.

 

[seankndy]

Apple prolly seeded a bogus/joke version of iOS 19 to this Prosser guy making him believe he got the real thing. iMessage seriously looks like a joke.

 

[leonremi]

Skeuomorphism was in, then out, then apparently back in.
Yawn.

 

[EBone12355]

So since green text bubble are so universally berated, do you think they'll finally change the message app icon to blue instead of green?

 

[Spunk Bubble]

Don't be fooled by hope again. Apple is ballz deep in the AI, so expect minor stuff only IMO.
