There are many other apps to share images with friends and family, but sending images via iMessage is a different feeling altogether. And now users can send low quality images via iMessage in iOS 10. Now this is something interesting as users won’t feel data shock (if they are using 3G or 4G data on their iPhones/iPads).

I consider this new feature as a little challenge to chat apps like WhatsApp, Facebook Messenger, Viber etc. The stock Messages app in your iPhone or iPad can function similarly as other chat clients that you have to download from App Store. Therefore, it is only wise to share everything via Messages app, which is a stock app in your iOS device.

Apart from sending low-quality images, you can now send voice message and video through Messages app on iPhone/iPad. However, care should be taken that you send only a portion of video and not the large video file through Messages app.

Sending voice messages is also a nice option to send wishes to your loved ones on their birthday & anniversaries. Similarly, you can create a small video and send it to your friends & colleagues on special occasions.

Messages app has got one more interesting feature hidden inside. With the release of iOS 10, users can now add Events automatically to Calendar app on iPhone/iPad. This new feature is particularly helpful to professionals and businessmen. Whenever you receive a text message with date, time and place, a pop-up will ask you to create event. You can then create an event on your iPhone/iPad by following a few steps.

Thus, Messages app has undergone many useful changes in the latest iOS 10. Make the most of this app and make your life comfortable. Share some other important features of Messages app here. You can also connect with us on FacebookTwitter and Google Plus.
