iMessage Tips, Tricks, Hacks & Hidden Features!!!
Messages is the default text messaging app for iOS on every iPhone, iPod touch, and iPad. It lets you do all the basic things you’d expect: send texts, photos, emojis, and all the other standard texting stuff.
On the other hand, iMessage is an Apple-specific set of features and tools built on top of Messages. The advanced features used in Messages come from iMessage. You can use other apps to send text messages from your iPhone, but if you want to use all the features of iMessage, your only option is to use the Messages app.
The iMessage service works on all devices running iOS 5 and later, including the iPod touch and iPad. It is also built into the Messages app that comes with all Macs running Mac OS X 10.7 and later.
