The least featureful messaging app there is

iCloud message sync is still super unreliable. It’ll try to send a message for three minutes when every other app on the phone has figured out you have no connection, and it’ll just silently look like it’s still trying, preventing you from cancelling or re-attempting.

Needs multi platform apps or icloud.com functionality

Not having a choice of what platform friends and family use have a multi platform version of this app is very important. I also have to work on a PC so for productivity reasons it would be nice to at least have messaged available on icloud.com

Room for Improvement

Messages should offer the ability for a user to mark an opened/read thread as unread.
There should also be an option to view a transcription of Voice Notes (similar to Visual Voicemail).

Weak

Only Americans would think this is a good app. Please, just drop SMS and copy WhatsApp.

Deleting a thread shouldn’t require a confirmation

I strongly wish I can delete a message thread without getting a confirmation prompt.

Revolutionary

Grateful iMessage exists. Privacy first, easy to use with the whole Apple ecosystem.

Great but…

Please please fix the voice messages. If the screen self locks, you have to start the message from the beginning. It’s extremely infuriating.
Make the voice messages time scrollable or something!

Needs better reactions

Adding reactions to messages are slow and the built in options aren’t the best. It would also be nice to add emojis and stickers as reactions instead. Similarly it would be nice to include custom stickers in messages.

Audio messages are too bad

Can’t easily rewind them, can’t easily record long messages because you have to keep the button pressed all the time, and if you get a call, recording is interrupted and lost.
Also, search is kinda broken

Very barebones

Less animoji that no one uses, and add RCS support, scheduled messages, and chat customization.

iMessage

Absolutely amazing, but it would be great if we could un-send messages. Also please add RCS support.
