iPhone iMessage apps

Anyone really use these? I don't really see the point at least with the ones I've enabled to see what they do.

I use GIPHY all the time.

I imagine a lot of people do use them, just like the Stocks App which I’ve never used but I know a lot of people who swear by it.

Yep I use them everyday. In fact a few of them. I find them to be really convenient.

Aside from some image/sticker ones (that are basically just for fun), what are some useful ones from your use/experience, out of curiosity?

Like with youtube all it does is show your history, literally nothing else so why not just use the app itself?

They all just seem to be more of a widget operation rather than app extension.

It really depends on individual developers what they want to put in the iMessage extension. You don’t want full fledged functionality in the iMessage apps anyway. They’re supposed to be for quick and convenient access to data for sharing purpose rather than replacing the standalone apps.

Ps. You forgot to mention the biggest feature of the app. Search.
