    All Devices Stickers Sync?

    Hi I don't see anything online about iMessage stickers can or can't sync all devices? I assume it cannot since my iPhone and iPad don't have all same ones. I think it strange it cannot sync all devices when everything else iMessage can.

People I know to have iPhones are messaged via SMS from my Mac (with Text Message Forwarding turned on my iPhone). To others I can send iMessages without incident. It’s either a bug...

    Keyboard Shortcut to Close iMessage Dialog

    What keyboard shortcut closes this dialog window? Esc, Command + ., and others (Command + W) do not work. To replicate this prompt, in iMessages type out a line of text to a user, then Command backspace it, then command + backspace again. For whatever reason, I hit backspace multiple times...

    iPhone iMessage activation fail on Google Fi and iOS 13.3

    After I restore my phone over iOS 13.3 iMessage and FaceTime activation is failing constantly. I use Google Fi and I think must be related to that. I contacted Apple support but they are clueless about it. Anyone else with the same issue?

    Can’t send iMessages or call one person (iPhone 8plus)

    My mom has been having this problem for around a week or two where she can’t send iMessages to one of her friends. It’ll make that “whoop” sound, but it won’t show delivered. I tried texting her (my mom’s friend) and it works on my phone so it definitely has to be a problem on my mom’s side...

    iPad iPad SMS will not send. (Message to iDevices users ok)

    Someone else pointed this out and I tried this on iPad. If I attempt to send SMS via iPad 13.1, - a NON-iPhone/ Apple user - the message will hang for 5-10 minutes, eventually I'll receive a "No Delivered." However, I did not have this issue with iPhone (running 13.1)

    Missed first message in iMessage group

    This issue possibly only happens to people switching from Android to iPhone, or it might have just happened to me. I will try to be as detailed as possible. So I noticed today that I was included in a group iMessage between myself and two other friends who also own iPhones. However, the very...

    iPhone XS Max How Do I Save All iMessage Pics/Videos in Bulk?

    My iMessage app is taking up like 40GBs on my Max, and I'd like to clean that up a bit. Unlike WhatsApp, iMessage doesn't save everything you receive into the camera roll. Is there an easy way to just export all pics and videos? If not, what's the best option?

    Why won't non-iOS device sent text messages delete on Watch when deleted on iPhone?

    Any idea why Apple hasn't added this fully message sync to the Watch? Standard (non-iOS sent) SMS messages just pile up on the Watch and need to be removed manually one at a time.
