Messages
It’s easy to stay in touch, with Messages. Connect with one or more people through text, audio,
live photos, or video. And if you want to share les, you can do that too. (Requires an external
microphone. Accessories are sold separately at apple.com or your local Apple Store.)
Sign in and send. Sign in with your Apple ID to exchange unlimited iMessage texts—including
text, photos, video, and more—with anyone with a Mac, iPad, iPhone, iPod touch, or Apple Watch.
Tip: You can send and receive SMS and MMS messages on your Mac, if your iPhone (with iOS
8.1 or later) is signed in to Messages with the same Apple ID. On your iPhone, go to Settings >
Messages, tap Message Forwarding, then tap the name of your Mac to turn on Text Message
Forwarding. On your Mac, you’ll see an activation code. Enter this on your iPhone, then tap Allow.
Ask Siri. Say something like: “Tell Mom that I’ll be late.”
Make messages fun. Liven up discussions by responding to messages with large emoji or
Tapbacks. To add a Tapback, Control-click a message bubble, then choose Tapback. And look out
for stickers, Digital Touch, invisible ink, and handwritten messages that your friends send you
from their iOS device or Apple Watch.
