Apple Enhances its Social Network Messages


The American social network operator improves its social platform Messages to increase its customer base..

At WWDC, Apple has announced that it had laser-focused on Messages –a place where one has the most secretive digital talks with his or her friends and family along with huge volume of image sharing and the like.

The latest iOS 10 will be accompanied with impressive new features which will be able to improve users’ private communications with Donald as well as other stickers, increase the size of emojis, even use applications such as DoorDash for ordering lunch with friends, without quitting the chat.

Messaging applications have turned out to be the most used app in the tech world’s as they glue the people together and keep them connectedwith the most significant services and people in their lives. Isn’t it mimicking an operating system? That is the idea. Currently, while using Facebook Messenger, a user can request an Uber ride or pay money to his or her friend and this is how far tech giant wants to take its app.

A lot of applications are providing varied services to their users. For instance, in China, people use WeChat to pay their every bill- even traffic tickets. Alphabet Inc.’s Google upcoming Allo application will let one reserve dinners for friends. In Slack, the growing business-focused messaging facility, one can share articles easily without ever quitting as well as add jobs to a shared to-do list.

With huge levels of openness and import functionality- as well as a handful of well-placed stickers- the Apple iPad maker’s messaging platform can take it to the future. Sending a text-only message will look similar to sending a telegraph when iOS is launched. A lot of its features resemble to already existing Snapchat and it can be rightly assumed that the tech titan is aiming to target the teens among whom Snapchat is enormously popular.  

There is Invisible Ink masking a message or picture up till a user swipe for the grand reveal. The feature Celebrate automatically activates an animation taking over the screen when he or she types any festive message such as “Happy Birthday!”. One can alter his or her message bubble size, sketch on videos and pictures with his or her finger.  As far as emoji features are concerned when one types, his or her keyboard will propose emojis. A user can easily also swap words out for emojis with a click.

The wait for using the feature is not long and they will be integrated into the latest iPhones to be launched in the fall of this year.
