As Apple dramatically improve iMessage

On last WWDC Apple has not devoted much time to the most critical applications. For example, "notice». Now it is possible to draw, paste the text next to the image and so on. That's all well and good, but iOS is not yet so perfect that so much attention is given to one only notes. Together with them, it would be nice to update and iMessage, applying it exactly the same ideas that have been implemented in the new Notes. Therefore, we invite you to see how it would look like in practice. We are talking about completely renovated Apple application for instant messaging.

In each new iOS Apple is required to implement ideas from other developers. These include the curtain notificationsAnd a new feature "Picture in Picture"And many other things. In case it would be useful to look at the achievements of iMessage and HipChat SlackAnd then to integrate some of them into your application.

In OS X Apple has long been able to do almost the best preview of the files in the world. With just one keystroke - and you can read the text to see the image or listen to music without having to open the actual file in the application. On iOS, until the entire preview ends in a file name and its icons. And to open a document or media content can be solely by means of the application.

The same situation and with the contents of the Web. Other messengers have long learned to display full of tweets inserted into the chat link on their own to show previews of images from the web. The iMessage to see anything on the link is still required to move in Safari and watch content there. It's terribly inconvenient. Look, is this version does not look better?

Moreover, some of the links could and did turn into interactive. Videos from YouTube, for example, it would be great to look directly into the chat. But we can go even further and, instead of icons and apps from the App Store titles, as proposed by the author to make a full installation program button. Still, it will take place within a single system, which means to cooperate and iMessage app store should not be so difficult.

The same can be done with calendar events. So far it is not clear how it should look at the sender's side, but Apple developers necessarily come up with something comfortable, and the recipient will just click "Accept", and the recording will be inside it calendar.

Coming back to your notes. No major complaints before them could not express. Yes, they lost their formatting when you send an iMessage, but with the scarce possibilities of registration, it was no great loss. Now, with the new Notes, turn a blind eye can not. Apple simply has to make a complete display of notes in his messenger.

Of course, such integration would like to see with all the standard iOS apps and even watchOS. But in reality, I hope this point is unlikely to need too much time and effort it takes. And, unlike other proposed functions, it is not so useful. It is unlikely that many will send a special weather widgets instead of the words "heat", "cool" or other simple descriptions, which all used to.

While such ideas are not implemented in iMessage and talk about the future plans of a few early, but if you think a little bit and use your imagination, it is can be represented as in any iOS 12 similar previews of all applications will be available anywhere in iOS: iMessage, Notes, Twitter clients and Facebook. In any case, to change at least iMessage is necessary now. This not only saves a lot of time to switch to another application and back again, but just to make communication more convenient and beautiful.
