It’s so good for everything one of the best social apps and an og

A great idea

A bunch if social media has streaks soxin my opinion you should add streaks for people who don't have if doesn't want social media. Please look at this and respond with a good answer so please add streaks.

Over all

I’ve been having this phone for over 2-3 years, and just recently my messages would not send and I have service, I tried to fix it, but nothing worked.

So buggy

mixed group chat

makes it worse is that you can create a group chat, add whoever you want, but suddenly you have no control over who's in it once it's created?!
Especially when somebody no longer needs to be part of the conversation. Now everybody has to migrate to a whole new group chat because ONE person needs to be removed. That's ridiculous.
And you're right about dissolving the chat, too. Deleting it from your phone doesn't delete it from everybody else's phone. The conversation can still continue.
I checked Apple's current instructions, and unfortunately, you're absolutely correct. Apple only allows removing participants when everyone uses an Apple device and the group has at least four people.
The crazy part is that Apple supports RCS messaging with Android now, but still hasn't given mixed groups proper membership controls.
I genuinely think Apple needs a Group Admin feature where the creator can add people, remove people, and close the group permanently.
Because why do we have all this technology and still have to play musical chairs with group chats?! �

Glitch out a little

It was perfectly fine but then when I had home Internet, it started glitching out like I’d send something and say that I couldn’t do it and it was like very glitching and it’s still doing this

I am really annoyed because when I call my friends it won’t allow me to do face time so u better fix this It is annoying

Slow

Love how I even bought a new phone assuming my errors were 13 related, but no I still have to open and reset then
wait for the app to even load properly

iMessage fail

Since the iOS 27 update my texts don’t go through most of the time. It’s really annoying and needs fixed. I googled the issues and did the quick fixes but it still doesn’t work.

Essential App, but missing 1 thing

I have been an Apple user for many years now, including iPhone, iPad and Apple Watch.

iMessage is an essential app, because it has a clean interface, and is super easy to use. I don’t know what I would do without it.

However, a feature has been removed that I really miss, and that is the app toolbar, which allowed quick access to my GIFs, Photos, Stickers and other iMessage apps. I find the newer + menu makes these feel harder to find, because you have to navigate through a menu to find them. Would be great if the toolbar was brought back, maybe as a toggle in settings!!

Thanks again Apple for amazing app.
Would be 5 stars if you brought the toolbar back!

Blocked Contacts

I think that if you block someone, they should NOT be able to see your messages on group chats that you both are in. Example: I blocked my friend because of arguments or not being trusted, but we are both in a group chat together) i think that if you block someone they should not be able to see your messages even on group chats.
