    Why can’t Apple Messages match the features seen on other messaging platforms?

    I’ve used Apple messages for years, and I’ve noticed for awhile that I do not see the same features as one would see on other messaging apps. The number one feature I’d like to see is an archive message feature. I like having a clean inbox without deleting all of the messages. Every other...

They're things like textures that the software accesses infrequently, but which...
