I cannot open this app because my restrictions mode is on. Please let every one use this app. Even when restricted mode is onBut after all, using my phone that doesn’t have restrictions mode on, this app is still great because even without a phone number, you can still contact your friends.

Kind of annoying…

Being brutally honest…
Honestly I don’t know why everyone has messages and not WhatsApp, like WhatsApp is MUCH MUCH better. Unlike messages, you can block group chats whenever you want and you have THE CUTEST STICKERS. You can literally make stickers yourself. Messages on the other hand, only lets people to leave group chats, and not block them, which means people can just add you back. AND THAT IS SO ANNOYING. plus, messages is so hard to use. It took me so long just to change my profile picture and name. So basically, what I am trying to say here is that messages has just too much things to set properly that it becomes hard for people to find things, and they give people things that we don’t need. So just download WhatsApp. Girl is simple and easy to use, you don’t need messages, honestly.

Unknown senders on latest IOS

Messages since 2020 still in my unknown senders. And all the messages in my unknown senders are from medical, gov, tel service provider, banks, insurance etc. which are not unknown to me. Wonder whose bright idea to separate unknown senders and messages and I need to toggle back and forth to find messages. How does Apple define unknown or known? And all the messages got a new feature delete or mark as known. Technology supposed to be quick in navigation and now take more steps to complete a simple task. Also files after editing a form there’s no option to go back, only to back out completely and re-access.

Hi I enjoy using this app cause you can keep in touch with family and friends ❤️ but I really hate that even if you delete contacts or even block them, the other person or sender will still have your contacts. Is there a way you can completely prevent this in case of unknown senders? :(
