    Change the Message sounds when you send a message

    I am a person who loves to customize things to my liking, and I do not like being forced to use things. The sound when you send a message in Messages (that little WOOOOO that goes up in tone) or when you have the chat open and you receive a message (the WOOOO sound going down in tone. Is there...

    Is there a Find Next function in Messages for iOS?

    On Messages in macOS when you search with CMD-F you can use Find Next CMD-G to jump to the next result on the search. Is something like this possible on Messages on iOS? I feel that the search function inside Messages on iOS is very limited if this is not possible.

    Contact names are missing on random contacts in messages app

    I have done every tutorial I can find when searching Google on how to fix this, including resetting everything and wiping my phone clean before restoring from backup. I've called Apple four times today (calls kept dropping), and even they were puzzled. It does it to people with blue AND green...

    Copying Messages from Old to New Mac

    Hi folks, I've got one of those fancy new tMBP running Sierra. For various reasons I didn't want to copy the data directly from my old MBP (running Yosemite). I do, however, want to keep my whole message history, but I can't figure out how. I've tried the following: Closed Messages on the...

    Accidentally deleted all my friend's years-old text messages on my iPhone 5. How do I retrieve them?

    This isn't as simple as it sounds, so let me give you a little backstory: 1.) I accidentally deleted all of my best friend's texts. Instead of selecting the individual texts I wanted to delete and pressing the trash bin, I ended up stupidly hitting "clear all" and deleted all of them. :( 2.) I...

    Apologies if there is a thread already about this. Couldn't find one. I'm in a group chat on my ip7+ with about 10 people. I have the chat set to Do Not Disturb but it's still showing up on my watch. I have my watch set to "mirror iphone" on messages. Am I doing something wrong? Really...

    Messages from iOS7 to Mac

    What are the best ways to transfer Messages in their entirely from iOS7 to Mac for reading and archiving? iTunes doesn't seem to have a solution for this to my knowledge. What are all the alternatives? (Thanks for your suggestions in advance!)

    How do you send "Hey Siri" messages without another siri prompt?

    I'm certainly learning to use Siri more now that i've got a S2 Watch. I'm finding composing messages difficult. If i say "hey Siri" or hold the Digital Crown and say "Message Andrew and say I'm on my way to you" unless i say his full name or use the nickname, the watch will bring up every...

    Hi I can't seem to succesfully do group messages in sierra. I can add multiple contacts to a message, but once a message is sent to that group then i cant add any new contacts to it, or name the group. Is this possible? Am I missing something? Or does anyone know of a group message apps...

    iMessages sending smaller images on both macOS and iOS

    Hello all, I have a weird problem with Messages and despite extensive searching, I can't seem to find a way around it. Of course I may have missed something obvious, so feel free to bash me. :) The issue is very simple: every time I send an image, either from my Mac (Sierra) or my iPhone...

    Messages not working after updating MacBook Pro to Sierra

    Hi, after I have updated my MacBook Pro to Sierra I see that 'Messages' is not working. When I launch it, I can see that the accounts I had previously are still there (one is my GMail one) but when I say to go 'Online' it will stay forever on 'Connecting'. I don't seem to be able to cancel any...

    iMessage deleting

    Anyone else find it very annoying to have to delete threads on every Apple device you own, one by one.... Every text from co workers, verification codes, weather alerts, bank messages, on and on... Having to delete these from iPhone, Macbook Pro, Apple Watch, iPad mini... is frustrating. I...

    Deleting messages on AW with just one swipe?

    I am new to the AW! When deleting a message on the watch, by swiping once right to left, it asks me if I want details or trash. After I tap on trash it asks again if I want to trash the message. I thought I saw an option to eliminate the question to trash a second time, but I haven't been able...

    Speculative question: iOS Message apps on macOS?

    Question for people with better understanding of the technical underpinnings of iOS Message apps. I've heard people complain that Apple didn't build in app support for macOS messages, but this seems to me more a business challenge than a real technical challenge: if Apple were to create a macOS...

    iOS10 Messages - Apps don't work

    Hi All, Getting to grips with iOS10 - within the Messages work, I can't work out why the Apps within Messages don't seem to work, the only ones that work are the official Apple ones (Like Apple Music, Image Search), the others just display the logo of the App when you swipe to it....

    Potential Messages crash bug due to website previews

    Reported it to Apples Bug Reporter but for those who may have this happen I have a work around which will restore functionality but you will lose an entire text thread. Some links when pasted and sent may cause Messages to hang and crash when it tries to load the preview. In my case it happened...

    Messages push to watch despite actively using Messages on 10.12

    Has anyone else noticed this? I have macOS Sierra GM and watchOS 3 GM. I am actively typing with someone in Messages on Sierra, but the notifications are still going to my watch. It's kind of driving me nuts. This didn't happen before, if you clear a notification on one device it doesn't go to...
