<str<strong>on</strong>g>Messages</str<strong>on</strong>g> functi<strong>on</strong>alities that can be used in<br />

macOS<br />

• The list of all the things that can be d<strong>on</strong>e with <str<strong>on</strong>g>Messages</str<strong>on</strong>g> <strong>on</strong> <strong>Mac</strong> is given<br />

below:<br />

• Rich links<br />

• Instead of merely showcasing a link when you insert it in any message<br />

using iMessage app, the <str<strong>on</strong>g>Messages</str<strong>on</strong>g> creates a sleep preview of the URL,<br />

which includes the title and a picture, <str<strong>on</strong>g>Messages</str<strong>on</strong>g> also enabled users <str<strong>on</strong>g>to</str<strong>on</strong>g><br />

view YouTube videos without having <str<strong>on</strong>g>to</str<strong>on</strong>g> leave the c<strong>on</strong>versati<strong>on</strong>.<br />

• Big emoji<br />

• The size of the emojis has now been increased <str<strong>on</strong>g>to</str<strong>on</strong>g> three times than it was<br />

before. To send big emojis, you need <str<strong>on</strong>g>to</str<strong>on</strong>g> send three or fewer characters.<br />

• Tapbacks<br />

• Tapbacks refer <str<strong>on</strong>g>to</str<strong>on</strong>g> instant resp<strong>on</strong>ses that users can add <str<strong>on</strong>g>to</str<strong>on</strong>g> the messages<br />

bubbles. They can choose from the heart, thumbs up, thumbs down,<br />

exclamati<strong>on</strong> mark, questi<strong>on</strong> mark, and Ha Ha.


What does the <str<strong>on</strong>g>Messages</str<strong>on</strong>g> <strong>on</strong> <strong>Mac</strong> not<br />

have?<br />

• Sadly, even though <str<strong>on</strong>g>Messages</str<strong>on</strong>g> <strong>on</strong> iPh<strong>on</strong>es and iPads has functi<strong>on</strong>alities<br />

such as bubble and screen effects <str<strong>on</strong>g>to</str<strong>on</strong>g> impart more zing <str<strong>on</strong>g>to</str<strong>on</strong>g> the messages,<br />

these effects are not available <strong>on</strong> macOS <str<strong>on</strong>g>Messages</str<strong>on</strong>g> app as of now.


• <str<strong>on</strong>g>How</str<strong>on</strong>g>ever, users can still use services, applicati<strong>on</strong>s al<strong>on</strong>g with utilities <str<strong>on</strong>g>to</str<strong>on</strong>g><br />

make the best out of <str<strong>on</strong>g>Messages</str<strong>on</strong>g> <strong>on</strong> their <strong>Mac</strong>s.<br />

• <strong>Mac</strong> owners can use GIPHY <str<strong>on</strong>g>to</str<strong>on</strong>g> share GIFs with peers. The GIF Keyboard<br />

allows <strong>Mac</strong> users <str<strong>on</strong>g>to</str<strong>on</strong>g> find GIFs and send them <str<strong>on</strong>g>to</str<strong>on</strong>g> anybody. Users can simply<br />

drag and drop any GIF from the menu bar in<str<strong>on</strong>g>to</str<strong>on</strong>g> the message c<strong>on</strong>versati<strong>on</strong>.
