It can be deleted on your side. It can't be deleted on recipient's side. (Basically just like regular text messaging or even email work.)

Which...in a way it should be, better think twice before sending a message.
But then again, I've send messages to the wrong person./ashamed

Interesting statement about something that so many people use on a daily basis.

Mostly in the States, most of the rest of the world uses Whatsapp and/or different messaging Apps.
 
Automatic Avatar creation would be nice, take a picture of yourself, iOS does the rest, of course you can still make one yourself or edit the automatic one.

I remember the Simpson's had an auto avatar creator way back in the day for the movie. Worked really well from what I remember a well.

Best messaging system, by far.

iMessage now works with multi platforms? Until then it's not even close.

Well, iMessage doesn't work across platforms, but the Messages app does in the sense that you can send and receive messages in it no matter what the platform of the recipient/sender might be (given that regular SMS/EMS/MMS is built-in pretty much seamlessly).
 
Darn it! Drunk messages!

but you made a good point! better think before you send anything.

Lol, wasn't even drunk AFAIK.

I never use messaging for arguing with people, for instance with my partner/girl, that's the worst one can do, better confront the person directly or by making a phone call, but even a phone call isn't optimal.


*I do not (normally)argue with my girl, it happened but it's been a loooong time ago.
 
Until iMessage don't have feature like "save as draft" the un-send message and 2nd feature to move the message to the to of the list the one that was typed to respond but not sent; it is all water under the bridge.
Long time back I was on Android and Google message App had both features and loved it.

Thank you for your great advice :)

Does "Reduce Motion" still work to mitigate the junk people in the thread might try to insert?
 
One of the rumors was typing indicators for group chats. That would have been really nice, I wonder why it wasn't included?
 
Hey, I’d just be happy if the old Messages worked consistently. In the same house, each with iPhone & watch. Sometimes it reaches the phone but not the watch, sometimes it reaches both, sometimes it reaches neither, and sometimes it reaches but doesn’t ding.

This is my primary means of communication with my autistic son and it not working correctly is such a PitA.

But Memojis!

Breaks group chats all the time and I'm working on a PC for work so I can't use it on my computer. It's far from being usable for multi-platforms the way other apps can. Until then it's not the best messaging app period.
 
I’m not one to complain a lot about iOS/iPhones. However, the lack of inline replies was one of the things I simply couldn’t understand about iMessage - I mean, how could they have omitted this for so long?! What has changed? Did they just realize or did people just discover that they’d like to respond to specific messages? Yet another thing that I don’t understand is lack of the ability to archive conversations. Makes me wonder, are those at the helm humans like us? Do they use their own products?

so curious about this whole mention business: how do they appear on the other end? for instance if my mother-in-law sees how is listed in my contacts... we might have a problem.

Anyone got an insight into the answer for this? Definitely curious about how it works too.
 
Been running for a week on an iPhone 11 Pro and I keep finding little improvements all over with almost no bugs. This is a surprisingly stable release for Developer Beta 1. I’m really impressed with both the new features (using widgets all the time now on the home screen) and love the App Library now that I’ve gotten used to it and the stability of the software. It feels very decluttered having one home page with all of my most used core apps plus widgets and one swipe away from the App Library.
