Integration is the name of the game.
In each generation, it’s basically the same.
iOS is no exception, is not seeking fame.
iSeek, iPad, iPhone, iMessage, it’s not lame.
… and today, given the paucity of “iEmail” which would have been our favoured Apple iOS app communication tool, we present today, a small treatise on other iOS apps that have chosen as their life’s mission, to interface to the iOS iMessage app, the “big speech bubble green background” icon app, usually very prominent (often next to the Phone app, forming the “Speedy Gonzales” couple of the communication woooorrrrlllldd) on most people’s iOS desktop.
Maybe you “think SMS, think iMessage” and that would be fine, sending brief, but almost instantaneously delivered messages to another mobile phone number.
These days, though, the iOS iMessage app can be so much more than that, and still have those instantaneously delivered messages “be the go”.
So other than …
- SMS text messages … please remember that (at least with our iOS 12.1 version) … out of the box other apps that can be used include …
- Digital Touch app … really cute scribbling capability …
- Photos app via Camera app photos and videos (though am sure there is a media size limit here) …
- Music (with iTunes icon) app … can include music, or there and then use the iPhone microphone to record your voice (like with a Voice Memo), like with Dictation …
- Shop (with Apple Store icon) app … interfaces with Apple Store related messaging …
- #images app … ideas from around the place of a visual nature including animations that look like animated GIFs … and then not out of the box, and it depends what you’ve installed yourself off the Apple Store, at least for us …
- Spotify app … can interface to iMessage with music
Feel free to take a look at a PDF slideshow of us trying out some of these iOS iMessage app interfacings, ourselves.
The iOS iMessage woooooorrrrrrlllllddd’s your oyster!
