iOS 10 Messages Apps and Games Worth Checking Out

[deany]

Really?! I've never been charged for things like that. iMessage just uses data all the way. I keep sending images and videos and sound clips via iMessage to my friends. Never ever have I been charged on any network I've used so far. Admittedly never EE.

Yep, this was last 12 months but others have had issues https://community.ee.co.uk/t5/produ...-for-sending-pictures-via-iMessage/td-p/33856

cheers

ps
very happy with EE

UPDATE.
Got it to work, you turn off reduced motion and then it works.

With iOS 10 now available to the public, there are hundreds of new Messages apps available in the dedicated Messages App Store. For the first time, we're getting a look at just what apps in Messages are going to be capable of, and it's more than a just a gimmick.

There are apps for all doing all kinds of things, from expressing yourself with GIFs and stickers, to sending song lyrics, sharing movie information, maps locations, weather reports, and more, plus there are even more in-depth tools for figuring out what restaurant to eat at, sending money to friends, and other conveniences that are sure to save you a lot of time.

In the list below, we've gathered up a handful of some of the most useful apps in the Messages App Store, so if you're looking to see what Messages apps can do, this is a good starting point.

Installing a Messages App

To install an app from the Messages App Store, tap on the "App Store" icon when in a conversation. From there, tap on the icon of four dots to open the app drawer, then choose the "+" button to access the store itself. The Messages App Store is similar to the iOS App Store, so choose an app and then tap on the price or "Get" to download it.

Messages apps are usually installed automatically, but can be accessed in the App Store by tapping on "Manage" and toggling apps on and off.

Notable Apps and Games

- GIF Keyboard (Free) - GIF Keyboard from Tenor is available as a Messages app, making it easier to insert GIFs directly into chat conversations. It features a create-a-GIF- option, trending GIFs, GIF categories for access to quick reaction GIFs, and a search tool.

[doublepost=1473862007][/doublepost]I have an iPhone 6 and I can't get stickers to stick to photos. I pick a photo from the photo picker. I go to the app area and choose a sticker pack and then try to drag and drop stickers onto the photo and they just drag themselves back to the app store. Any ideas on what I'm doing wrong here?

Think you can only do it to pics you have sent.

Thanks, that seems weird to me but it is what it is.

Anyone else having issues using certain iMessage apps on an iPhone 6? The ESPN, Fandango and GIF Keyboard apps simply display their logo on the space that should be displaying content on my phone. Wondering if I did something wrong or if some of these are coded to only work with 3D Touch devices.

I'm having the same issue. opentable, yelp, fandango, etc. None work. Mario stickers and the gifs work though. I don't get it.

Per a previous comment. Uninstalled and reinstalled them all and they work now for any others having this issue.

I'm having a similar issue with Square Cash on my iPhone 6. It shows as installed in the iMessages app store but isn't available in the Manage tab to turn on.

Quickies is pretty cool. You can play quick games in messages. Tic-Tac-Toe, Rock-Paper-Scissors and a coin flip game. It's free so that's nice.

Make sure all your apps that also have iMessage vers. have updated. Will show as installed in iMessage app store and not be available if they haven't been.

BrainyChess is a fun and free app to play chess with your friends inside Messages. It not only works on iPhone in a 2-person conversation, but it also works with iPad and group chats.

Full Disclosure: I'm one of the developers of the app.

This is pretty sick

Does the other person need to download the app?

That's the beauty of it. You just send them a message initiating a game, they get the option to install it and then you're right in to it. It's amazingly seamless.
