Although many of us have switched to WhatsApp and Signal, there is still a whole heap of life in Messages. In fact, there’s more than ever before now that Apple has spruced it up with the arrival of macOS Sonoma.
With the updated app, communication is a little faster thanks to the ability to reply more quickly. You can also find information within Messages with greater speed due to more advanced search filtering, and you can save time when you receive an audio message – by avoiding having to listen to it and reading a transcript instead. Messages also helps you to feel more connected to friends and family – to the point where you could, with their permission of course, pinpoint their location.
