In this tutorial, you'll learn how to use and manage stickers in the iPhone or iPad Messages app to spruce up your messaging game. We will also show you how to download additional sticker packs from the iOS App Store.
In this step-by-step tutorial, we're going to teach you how you can edit, annotate, and markup an attachment in the Apple Messages app on your iPhone or iPad before sending it to the recipient.
Learn how to spice up your iMessage conversations with bubble and fullscreen effects that play in the Messages app on iPhone, iPad, Mac, and Apple Watch.
MadridDelete is a new free jailbreak tweak that lets you easily delete SMS and iMessages from either the Lock screen or Notification Center, rather than having to be in the Messages app.
Although you can typically clear notifications and mark messages as read from these places, you have never actually been able to delete a message from the Lock screen or Notification Center until now.
Apple's Messages app provides an optional iOS-only mode which cuts down your cellular data consumption to a bare minimum when sending image attachments. I don't know about you, but I worry about sharing high-resolution images when cellular data is on. In my experience, most normals are oblivious to the fact that sending a single shot-on-iPhone photograph through iMessage burns through one to five megabytes of data, sometimes even more.
In low quality mode, Messages uses only 100KB per image attachment. Another way to think about it: you can send 30 to 50 images for the same amount of data required to share a full-resolution attachment in Messages. In this brief tutorial, we'll teach you how to tell Messages to send lower quality images in order to optimize your cellular data consumption and prevent unwanted overage fees.
As you know, iMessage overcomes many of the limitations of standard MMS. Every time you attach an image taken on your iPhone and iPad to an iMessage, it's delivered in its original size and resolution. Some downscaling may occur, but only for very high resolution images: those taken with an iOS device are always delivered in their original form without any resizing taking place.
And herein lies a problem for those of you who send a lot of images via a cellular data connection.
Knowing a typical photo taken on an iPhone 6s weighs in at between three to five megabytes (or even more), it does add up pretty quickly. If you're concerned about cellular data consumption (as you should be), pay attention as Messages on iOS 10 offers a brand new low quality mode.
We've determined it downscales images sent through iMessage to circa 100 kilobytes each. In other words, for the amount of data you'd normally spend to shoot someone a single photo via iMessage you get to send 30 to 50 images in low quality mode.
One of the flagship features of iOS 10 is the new pack of bubble and screen effects you can use to give some pop to your messages. If you're anything like me and my wife, this is the first thing you tried after installing iOS 10. But if you're anything like me and my wife, you might have also ran into some problems where one of the devices was able to send effects, but not receive them.
One of the main features of iMessage lets you and your recipients know when the other person is typing. For some, this is a little unsettling and doesn't give you the privacy you may want.
Fortunately, a new free jailbreak tweak called MessageTypingIndicator provides a way to turn this feature off.
Back in the day, Auki was one of the coolest jailbreak tweaks to have on any jailbroken device. It brought a very native-feeling Quick Compose and Quick Reply experience to iOS.
Auki 2 for iOS 9 has been in development for some time, and after all that hard work, it's finally become a finished project and is available in Cydia starting today.
Twitter has made some new changes to the Direct Message system that lets its users communicate with one another privately. Among those changes is the addition of sending and receiving read receipts.
In this tutorial, we'll show you how you can disable those read receipts so you're not letting everyone know when you see their Direct Messages.
If you've got a Mac, then you can easily send iMessages and SMS messages from the Messages app that's baked into your operating system.
Windows users don't have such a luxury. Remote Messages Client, a brand-new third-party desktop client, could change that.
Just last week, we showed you a jailbreak tweak called AnsweringMachine that took the jailbreak community by surprise and showed us that the iPhone's voicemail system has a lot to be desired. On the other hand, another new release called Super VoiceMail also looks very promising.
In this review, we'll show you what Super VoiceMail has to offer and help you decide which of the two jailbreak tweaks you should go with.
