    iOS 16 Update Messes with Texting Contacts that Have or Don’t Have Country Codes

    None of my contacts have the country code in their phone number. When someone texts me from a number that does contain it, Messages only recognizes that person by their phone number rather than their name. Anyone else noticing this? Is there a solution?

    iCloud macOS Ventura Messages Search

    I noticed something odd on the messages app specifically on macOS Ventura. If I have messages opened and click the search bar I see suggestions of numbers to interact with. All of them are text numbers and not those tied to iMessages. Most of them are from those spam text messages that have...

    2022 and we still can't search within a conversation in Messages

    I have been an iOS user since the iPhone 4 and love the mobile OS, but certain things still puzzle me.

    I updated my iPad Pro (WiFi only) to iPad OS 15.7 yesterday night - since today none of the messages aren't getting delivered. I normally send invite links from Google Meet / Zoom via Messages to an iPhone user.

    iCloud I disabled Messages in iCloud this morning. Why does it still take up 16 GB of iCloud space?

    After having had Messages in iCloud enabled since it was first made possible, I finally decided to switch it off today to save some space. However it still says Messages take up 16 GB of my iCloud storage. How come?

    Messages turns green until app restart?

    Sometimes, for seemingly no reason at all, messages seems to stop working as iMessages and defaults to SMS. I'll find that conversations that were previously blue iMessages have all turned green, and I only have the ability to send as SMS (green) until I force close and restart the Messages app...
