Messages (Apple)

Rare card · No. 55434

Messages is a text messaging software application developed by Apple for its macOS, iOS, iPadOS, watchOS, and visionOS operating systems. All versions of Messages support Apple's own iMessage and Apple Messages for Business services, while the mobile version of Messages on iOS – used on iPhone and cellular-enabled models of the iPad – also supports SMS, MMS, and RCS since iOS 18. Users can tell the difference between messages sent via carrier messaging (SMS/MMS/RCS) and messages sent over iMessage or Apple Messages for Business by the bubble color. The bubbles will appear either green for carrier messaging (SMS/MMS/RCS), blue for iMessage, or dark gray for Apple Messages for Business. First released in 2007, the mobile version was known as Text prior to iPhone OS 3, while the desktop Messages application replaced iChat as the native OS X instant messaging client with the release of OS X Mountain Lion in 2012, bringing additional support for iMessage and FaceTime integration.
