What is the Message app?
The Message app is an instant messaging service developed by Apple Inc. to send text messages over cellular service to people available on your contact list. You can send photos, videos, and other info to your contacts. You can also personalize your messages with animated effects, Memoji stickers, iMessage apps, and more.
How to reply to a message on iPhone:
1. You can ask Siri.
- Siri: Say something like:
-
- “Send a message to Eliza saying how about tomorrow”
- “Read my last message from Bob”
- “Reply that’s great news”
Tip: When you wear AirPods (2nd generation and later), AirPods Pro, and AirPods Max, or other supported headphones, Siri can read your incoming messages, and you can speak a reply for Siri to send.
2. Send the message manually:
Step 1: In the Messages list, tap the conversation that you want to reply to.
-
- To search for contacts and content in conversations, pull down the Messages list and enter what you’re looking for in the search field. Or, choose from the suggested contacts, links, photos, and more.
Step 2: Tap the text field, then type your message.
- Tip: To replace text with emoji, tap the Next Keyboard, Emoji button, or the Next Keyboard button, then tap each highlighted word.
Step 3: Tap the Send button to send your message.
Or you can quickly reply to a message with a Tapback expression (for example, a thumbs-up or a heart). Double-tap the message bubble that you want to respond to, then select a Tapback. You can also reply to a specific message in a conversation.
