    Cannot click blue send button in iMessage if I added any type of attachment

    Anyone else started having issues lately with not being able to click the send arrow in iMessage if you added a link, picture, contact card, etc? Seems like this started maybe within last month or so. Otherwise if only sending text it works fine. Any known fixes?

    Hi everybody, I have 2 questions about iMessage, if somebody could help! The first one is, how does the Recently Deleted "bin" behave if I delete some message from a chat on day 1, and the some other messages from the same chat on day 10? Does it show them as 2 separate items, or as one? Do...

    My watch hasn't been delivering iMessages to my watch reliably for the past year. All other notifications are delivered normally but sometimes an iMessage won't be delivered to my watch. Strangely, the notification centre on my watch will mirror that of my iPhone, only the iPhone having the...

    Gifs sent from Messages on Mac appear low-res on iPhones

    So I recently discovered a weird... Bug? I hope it's a bug. When you copy and paste a gif into messages on iPhone and sent it to someone else, the gif sends in the full original quality. However it turns out that if you sent a gif message through Messages on the Mac, it sends it in a...

    Messages storage ballooning out of control for no apparent reason.

    Hello, So I’ve upgraded to a 128GB iPhone from a 256GB iPhone as I decided I don’t really need that much physical storage space due to having 2TB of iCloud and everything being synced/stored in the cloud. I reduced the space being taken on my old phone, then restored the new phone from backup...

    Preventing iMessage images from being offloaded

    There may be a very simple solution to this, but I have not been able to find it. I noticed recently that the images in some of my iMessage conversations have been uploaded to iCloud and removed from my device. There is an option in each chat to download the images in iCloud, but the images are...

    Duplicate iMessage streams for same contact different number or sender identity

    Hello Folks, this issue is probably as old as not being able to merge AppleIds. Anyway: If you chat with someone on iMessage and change your number (and the chat contact updated his contact about you), the receiver will still end up with two different message streams on iMessages even it is...

    iMessage on Mac: Do you have it set up?

    Hi everyone, I’m curious: Do many of you have iMessages active on your Macs? I don’t know if it may be redundant to have it active on my Mac when I have my phone next to me, and messages with attachments can take up some space in the drive. I also worry if a ”spicy” pic gets received and...

    Opening photos from iMessage on macOS

    When opening photos from iMessage on macOS, it shows a preview, then I have to click "Open With Preview" in the window that shows. Is there a way to merely have it when I open the photo from iMessage it just opens in 'full', i.e. in Preview? So many clicks. Clearly am doing something wrong...

    iPhone iMessage delivery, when iOS is off

    My phone was off for a week (while I was on holiday). When I returned, I turned it on and received no iMessages. So, I presumed no one contacted me. And, even my iPad and MBP didn’t show any iMessages. Weeks later, I found out that some iMessages were sent to me, I just never received them...
