With the addition of many new functions to SMS in iOS8, more and more people begin to pay attention to the iMessage function on their iPhone, and more and more problems follow. How to confirm whether the message just sent is SMS or iMessage? Why are some messages displayed in green and some in blue? Whether the sent information has been checked by the other party can be found by knowing the eight hidden functions of iMessage.

1. SMS or iMessage?

Many people confuse SMS with iMessage. After all, they are all sent in the same message App, which is very confusing. If you want to know what information you are sending, you can check the following properties before entering the information. Even if a message is sent, you can see the properties of the message. If it is a short message, it will be displayed in green, and if it is an iMessage, it will be displayed in blue, so you can expect the short message fee charged for the message.

2. There is a nightmare of "I can't read it back" in 2.iMessage!

Now many SMS applications have added the function of not reading back. In fact, the curse of "not reading back" is hidden in iMessage. In the message of setting up the App, there is a list called "Send a read receipt". Open it, and you can inform the sender that you have read their information. In other words, when you read other people's news, others will know that you read it. In other words, if you don't answer, there will be a spell of "I can't read it back". In addition, you can see the sending time by dialing inward from your own message.

3. You can post your location!

Sometimes, in the case of a date, a party, etc. , you may need to send information about a location upon arrival. You can click "Send my current location" in the details to send the location to the designated contact, and click "Share my location" to share the location with the designated contact.

4. Send a video message! SMS and iMessage are not the same!

In addition to sound, you can also send video messages in the message App. Although this function can be used in both SMS and iMessage, due to system problems, the usage methods will be very different. Click on the lower left corner of the message input interface, and a video button will appear when you open the camera app. Press the video button to make a video and send it to another iMessage account (left). If you press the camera in the lower left corner of the message, and then press "Take a photo or take a photo", you can turn on the camera to record. (right)

5. Message forwarding and deletion

Press any message, and press "More" after the black menu pops up to select multiple messages. You can find two buttons below, one on the left is delete and the other on the right is forward message (right).

6. How to retrieve iMessage pictures?

IMessage supports sending pictures, sounds and videos, but how to retrieve the sent photos? It's simple. You can find the pictures sent and received by iMessage on the details page of the conversation.

7. You can also send and receive iMessage messages from your Mac!

IOS8. 1 adds the message synchronization function of Handoff. We have already introduced this point. Open the message bar in the setup App, and then open the message transmission, so that you can enter the authentication password sent by the Mac, and you can send and receive messages sent by the Mac.

8. do not disturb mode asked the designated contact person to stop harassing you!

If a contact is in trouble, I often send you messages. Because iMessage uses the network to send messages, it doesn't need to pay extra if it doesn't reach the traffic limit, so it becomes numb at any time. Press Details in the upper right corner of a dialog box, set Do Not Disturb to ON, and set the notification center to mute during this conversation, so as not to be disturbed by some troublesome people.

In addition, if a contact is troublesome enough to be blocked, you can press Info → Blacklist in the settings App, then press Add, and then select any contact, so that you can block the phone calls, messages and Facetime calls of the contacts in this list.
