  • one major thing

    i love messages and its my main source of texting other than discord and snapchat. however, theres one thing that i think would make messages a WHOLE lot better and continue to be up there. so like whatsapp and snapchat both have things where u can post ur status. so what if messages did that too? it would create an even bigger attraction to messages and im pretty sure teens and young adults would especially enjoy this feature. you could like status post pics and all your contacts could see it, though in your settings it could be changed. i also know that snap and insta have sendit, so what if there was a sendit-message collab? newer generations would enjoy that. also, could you please make edit and unsend timings longer? sometimes u send something and dont realize theres a huge typo or smth and when u want to change it u run out of “time”. maybe make that longer?
    other than that, i think messages is a great app for communication, and the stuff with memoji and game pigeon are very enjoyable!
  • Messaging is OK but I wish they had a lion emoji like the full thing like the dog

    I love messaging just only thing that I’m really not OK with is that they don’t have a lien full body they just have the head the heads honestly sort of scare me I wish they were more realistic but that’s fine I love messaging my friends and my family it’s easier to like get a hold of them and everything it also helps bring relationships together by talking to people who live far away that you know and your family lives in like Hawaiian Ulysses warehouse far away from there then you can message that it’s really a good app and everything just whoever makes the emojis please try and make it either more realistic heads or make a full lion like the body with the head because it would be creepy if it was just the head to me it’s creepy so this might be wrong but I would give it like a four star no five because it’s a nice app it helps me contact my family find where they are and they can find where I am and then you can also text your friends you can ask them if I can hang out or anything so yeah that’s my review
  • Overall Pretty Good! 3 Star’s.

    Messages is supposedly the best app for all ages. All though one BIG problem for the All aged thing is that it allows any swears no matter what? Like shouldn’t a parent or guardian be able to add that limit and get notified if they say something bad? Two star decrease. Although there is so many fun and creative ways to text your friends! I love how you can name them anything and put any photo. Again should be a restriction option for that, but otherwise this part is great! You can even add them there own emojis of THERE FACES! Just make one yourself, and you can even get creative! That’s a two star bonus! The final thing is definitely the amount of things you can do with messages! You can mute people and put them on silent, you can remind yourself that there is a message you’d like to reread by swiping left, and you can even pin them if they’re your number one priority, or just a best friend! That’s a one star ADDED! Overall this app gets a three stars! Excellent service, but a few bad details. They could of done more to get a five star, but three is better than none.

    EDIT!: I add +1 star because they added restrictions for parents! This is definitely VERY useful and important. Four stars!
  • Add more pins

    I was thinking that you should change how many pins people can have, i think you should have more than 9 pins available because once i had 9 pins up and i had made a new friend and i was pinned on her phone, she had gotten mad at me because she wasn’t pinned on my phone and now we are fighting. i would have removed people but they were my family and some of my real close friends. i think adding more pins will be good because people that don’t want pins don’t have to have them but people who do can have them if they want. another good reason you should add pins is it shows the pictures of the people you put up/pinned and if you have bad eye sight this helps people be able to see who they are looking for or trying to text. adding more pins would be a great addition to messages because it helps people who have bad eye sight and it helps people just in general. thank you for changing this and i hope y’all have a good day.
  • Amazing but a little problem

    I use this app everyday and it was really awesome! You have stickers and more for the message and you easily chat. But every time I have a new message that her name is “ Krystal” and when I chat her, it can’t do it so I tell my mom that she can fix it so she will be home soon. I have a new contact her name was “Mita Elena” but I do a new phone number so I decide to send a text so we can have a fun time together. And I create me that my name is “Amy”. And I send my mom some bitmoji stickers and some Memoji stickers. I use to love this app and I don’t have many contacts so I will make new contact so I have many friends. Now I enjoy this app I use in my iPad 10 generation and the color of my iPad was pink. So I hope you have a great time that I use this app, thanks. Note: I only rate 4 stars because I have a little problem to fix so I rate 4 stars instead of 5, fix this app so I can rate into 5 stars!
  • Great app for messaging friends and family.

    I like this app a lot. Idk why the rating is so low, well ofc they had a bad experience but you cant really complain if you have an iPhone 7! Most of the negative reviews are people that are too lazy to replace there phone or just don't know how to use app. The one negative thing is that apple ipads cant text with all devices which is annoying. For future: Im not knocking any stars because the app is perfectly fine but for future updates to keep the app interesting i have some suggestions . I like peoples ideas to add more mejoi clothes/accessories. I think it would be cool to add themes to your main page or whatever you want to call it and be able to change the chat bubble color. One last thing maybe you could have an option to pin more conversations? Overall this is a great app and i hope you take my suggestions into consideration for future updates! Edit: Even with iOS 16 you cant edit/erase green messages. Not a big deal just thought i would say this.
  • Location sharing

    Messages app, as part of the phone, serves its purpose. I’ve never had a problem with it until this one feature: location sharing. In one instance, I accidentally clicked on share my current location in a chat with acquaintances, which didn’t go anywhere as they understood that it was an accident. On multiple occasions, however, I’ve had run ins with scammers who got my number and had to go into the info tab to block their number. When I do this, I always get very close to the location sharing tab, which would send my location to scammers phishing for my personal data, which they would certainly share around to their scammer network. What I’m suggesting isn’t a removal of the system as a whole, just a confirmation prompt that pops up when you click on location sharing, as, in my opinion, it is an incredibly important piece of your private info that should stay private. Thanks! (I know nobody at Apple will probably read this but when I sent a review to classroom they changed it so here’s hoping!🤞)

    So I used to have this all on my old iPad and it worked great, I get it on my iPhone 13 mini and it’s still great! Although, I see no updates nor change. I recommend adding an update where you add more options to Memoji. Some suggestions that might be useful: bracelets, watches, a color wheel, an option where you can go in and adjust where you have certain things, and I feel like every body asks for this, more hairstyles, more options where you put highlights. For example, I personally think that it would be awesome if you had an option where you can make the hair half and half, like where you can have half of the hair green and the other half blue or something. Also, it would be nice if you could make the background of a chat a color or image. Other than that, your app is great! But like I said earlier, I haven’t seen much change. I hope you consider adding an update!
  • Suggestions for Memoji, but good👍🏻

    So I think this app is great, I’m a young teen and my dad won’t let me get other messaging apps (WhatsApp, Signal). So I use only iMessage for everything! 🥰 Some suggestions for Memoji tho. So the idea is great. I love having stickers right here for free in the app… but u need to add an accessories folder with necklaces, bracelets , backpacks, purses. 😊 Add headbands, Maybe eyebrow piercings, and more clothing, earrings, and hairstyles. Maybe a watch? Apple Watch, Fitbit, fancy Watch. Stuff like this would be even better! ☺️ Still, iMessage is a great app. And Memoji makes it even better! I love ❤️ this app 😊 Thnx for reading 😁

    Edit:
    So I’m really disappointed 🥺. I have an iPhone 13 mini and Messages keeps crashing! It did this with my old phone, iPhone 6s Plus, and I though it was just bc it was so old. But now with my new iPhone it’s still crashing various times. It’s not SUPER frequent, just like once or twice a week it might crash. And then I’d get texts on my Apple Watch and not my iPhone. I would have to turn it off and sometimes restart it. I am disappointed in Messages but I will still like it better if y’all add stuff to Memoji! Sadly I’m eliminating a star 😢
  • Thoughts for ios20…. Time given for the extra unneeded updates.

    I guess the goal for apple is for everyone to suffer with carpal tunnel. Nothing is simple. Touch screen use has evolved to multiple touches for one task. The curser and magnifier could be more annoying. Tabs were much better then adding an extra page for junk or unknown numbers.. Pins… ok. But let’s customize placement and size. ( phone are only so big/small) Updating info within messages… omg… info,info, select, scroll, etc…. Why not have the hold feature and select task from list?? Brilliant right?? Guess not. That Option is available and more valuable for every app downloaded to modify home screen. Wait this one’s better, when texting someone, there is the iPhone FaceTime icon to use when you want to simply FaceTime them. But no,Let’s make it difficult to use this icon and ask if we want to do a audio FaceTime! Why don’t we just add both audio and FaceTime icons and will only appear for iPhone users. Another idea why does everything have to be horizontal, vertical can be an option, with the option for right hand or left hand users! Rethink the layout along WITH SIMPLE FUNCTIONS. NOT REPEATED ONES!!

    Yes all though
