News & Reviews:   iMessage

During the antitrust trial between Apple and Epic, there were a few documents from Apple which revealed that iMessage was not made available to Android devices even though the app did not run into incompatibility issues. This is largely due to the orders made by Apple executives to keep iMessage exclusive to the iOS platform, making it harder for existing iOS users to migrate to Android-powered smartphones.

Apple's emphasis on security is one of the selling points for their products. However, sad things can still happen as it is reported that dozens of iPhone users have had their devices hacked by receiving just a text on iMessage recently. According to the source, these users are mostly journalists from a reputable media company Al Jazeera.

There were a lot of big announcements from Apple's WWDC 2020 today and one of them is the iPadOS 14. So what's in store for the tablet users? Plenty, there are upcoming new features and designs such as the Multi-Touch display, Siri interactions, new design for FaceTime and network calls, and many more. Besides that, there are new Apple Pencil features too so let's take a look at them. 

There are a ton of social messaging apps online, but not all of them allow you to edit your message if you did a typo. That might change for Apple iPhone users though, as recently the company just filed a new patent application at the US Patent and Trademark Office for that. This includes editing sent messages and improved application launcher.

When it comes to chatting apps, most people in Malaysia would recognize WhatsApp and WeChat as the superior ones. In other countries, they also have their own favourites with apps like LINE, Tencent QQ and many more. However, some of the Apple users would still prefer iMessage over the other third-party apps, with its extra cool features like Animoji and Memoji to express yourself. Now, it is rumoured that there are a few new updates coming to the platform which will make users’ lives easier.
