I love sending text messages with the various visual effects from Messages on my iPad, like Loud or Fireworks. Can I send texts from iMessage on my Mac using the same effects, or is that iOS only?
My kids send me lots of animated GIF images via text message but I have no idea how to reply in kind. Boring. How can I join in on the fun on my iPhone?
Hi Dave! When I send photos to my son in Messages he sends back hearts, thumbs up and other emoji that somehow end up “hooked” onto the photo I sent. How can I do the same for photos he sends me?
My children’s bandwidth use is through the roof, but they insist that they just share photos with their friends via text messaging. iPhones take big photos: is there any way to shrink the photos before they’re shared in iOS 11?
My girlfriend texts me all the time. Like, All The Time. Nice, but the constant interruptions make it hard to concentrate. Is there a way to mute her so the notifications don’t keep popping up on my Mac system?
My friends send me all sorts of funny photos and content as sms text messages in iMessage (“Messages”?). How can I save those photographs into my camera roll?
My kids occasionally peek at my phone to see who I’m texting and while most of the texts are fine for them to see, there are occasionally messages that are not for their eyes. Can I delete individual text messages from iMessage [“Messages”] on my iPhone?
I’m already a long-time fan of Apple’s iMessage program [tip: It’s now called “Messages” in Mac OS X] but I’m wondering whether there’s more I can do with the program than just send lines of text back and forth?
