Well, the point is that these things are optional, you can still use the app that you use essentially the same way that you have been using it.

While I personally probably won't use most of these new features, they don't bother me either. It's something some folks want, apparently. I know my wife likes this silly stuff so I imagine I'll have to deal with some of it. I really like the look of iOS 10 so far though, so I'm pretty happy.
What was he like personally? What? You didn't know him? You're talking out of your rear?
Half true, I can use the app like I want but I can't control how other people are using it with me.
Usually I have a strong opinion reflecting such, 'don't like it don't use it'.
However this is something that is inescapable and required. What I did up to this point was not using hokey messaging apps, like fb messanger or whatever. I just wouldn't download them, still haven't.
However message.app is baked in and I can't prevent people from sending me goofy slamming texts with confetti backgrounds or whatever. Nor could I expect my clients to download a more minimalistic messaging app.
Keep in mind this is just my opinion. I understand and appreciate other people will have their own opinions.
No corresponding setting in iOS 10 so far, that I can see. I checked under Manage Storage and iCloud Drive.
On another note, if they really were considering bringing this to Android adding lots of features like these that people are interested in should make it more enticing/competitive. Rather than it just being a standard messaging app.
Well, again, this isn't much different than someone you know calling you constantly or coming over constantly or even just constantly sending you funny/spammy emails or somethings like that. We've lived within the bounds of all those things for a long time now, this doesn't really seem to be that much more different than that.

And plenty of adults too as they have been with all kinds of messengers already.
Because it seems lie Apple is dumping down and turning its "cutting edge" technologies into children's toys more suitable for Toys'R'Us.
Or basically giving what more of their typical consumers would find useful/interesting/desirable. Kind of a crazy idea for a company that produces consumer goods and services to try to appeal to their interests.
Thanks for checking @blasto2236! The Mac setting has gotta be there for a reason, I think, so I'm hoping a later release of iOS brings a similar setting.
Yeah no 'hiding apps'
But you can DELETE them. Now wouldn't you say that's better? Peer to peer payments via other services is now possible using iMessage extensions.
You are getting payments via iMessage apps, they demoed it on-stage briefly. Just not Apple Pay.
Lol. yeah looks like its a REAL popular feature...!
But thanks for the clarification on what i should and shouldn't use. While ever I'm paying for the products i will express my opinion on the hardware, software or the ECOsystem of apple in any which way i choose as long as it remains within the rules of the forum regardless of your comments.
Looks cool. Shame that I don't know anybody to use it with. Everybody uses Facebook Messenger because, you know, it's cross-platform and it's kind of been around to steal territory for a while now.
How do you actually use all the new stuff in iMessage? Mainly the animated backgrounds and chat bubbles, still haven't figured out how to activate them.
Write a message, hold down the send button (arrow pointing up).
