Clearly this is the most innovative thing to come out of Apple, ever.
True. ;-) But I'm afraid that Facebook Messenger will bring this Feature before iOS10 is finally released.
iOS is on the decline, Facebook has a huge market share and works on all major platforms. iMessage is a non starter, can't ever use it as the majority of the world doesn't have it unlike WhatsApp or other messaging apps that have more features.
the scale of money being spent by users is more important than raw user counts when deciding where to invest development effort.
I'm in Hong Kong. My last genuine iMessage received was over a year ago... It's a dead platform in most parts of Asia, like SMS itself.
imessage being tied in ios is the reason it never has or ever will become a major platform in the big leagues. The tech bubble is real and distorts reality.
These Apps such as WeChat, Telegram and etc, are popular one day, and they are not another day. Plus, as you said, each of these apps might be popular in a region or part of the world, not everywhere. For example, Telegram is so popular in Iran, while in the U.S. you can hardly find someone who have it in their phone, and if they do they rarely use it. so you can't really compare it. — While iMessage tides in to the iOS and it's hard to imagine any of these services can replace iMessage in the long run.
This is exciting. I expect to see a ton of developers porting their apps to iMessage.
So tired of the term Millennials...ugh
PREACH
I wonder if this opens up Messages to ?
What would need is an open iOS Messages API, not the on-phone extensions/experiences announced today.
A whole new world for Developers
This is what "invisible ink" will look like in the new iMessage:
For developers, publishers and app marketers the sticker charts in APPlyzer could be valuable. Link here:
Hate it
Question: can apps be developed only for iMessage or is it only an extension of an existing app?
I think all iMessage is doing is taking inputs and sending it to your apps kind of like the way Intents work on Android. So you will need to extend your app ;)
