Can anyone explain to me why I am seeing the option to enable / disable Messages Extension Plugin option on iOS 10.3.2 (pic attached)? It only appears on my phone, and not on my iPad. It was enabled when I noticed it - I disabled it.

I did some searching, and it appears as though this allows some apps to access APIs for iOS, but I find no mention as to whether or not this option should be exposed to the end user.

If you're not sure how to answer this question, I would appreciate it if you would post back, and tell me if this option is available to you. Here's how to check:

  1. Open Messages, tap
    ios7_compose_icon.png
    , and enter a contact or tap on an existing conversation.
  2. Tap
    ios10-iphone6-messages-imessage-start-message-arrow-icon.png
    , then tap
    ios10-iphone6-messages-imessage-app-store-icon.png
    .
  3. Tap
    ios10-iphone6-messages-imessage-app-drawer-icon.png
    in the lower-left corner to open the app drawer.
  4. Tap the Manage tab.
LOL. Sorry about the large icons above. I copied and pasted form Apple's support site. Anyone know how I can shrink the icons size?
