The Messages app on your iPhone, iPad and Mac is obviously used for sending an iMessage or SMS messages to other people. That's just the beginning. You might not have noticed some special features. That's a shame, because you're missing out on some powerful options.
Find Someone's Location
- Simon's Cat- Story Time by Tactile Games — Based on the highly popular animated series, Simon and his cat face their biggest challenge yet. When the tranquility of suburban life is threatened by a huge building site, they mobilize the neighbors to help restore the mysterious wasteland before the diggers destroy it all.
- Secret Folder for Mac belongs to Security Tools. This program's bundle is identified as com.apimac.SecretFolder. Our built-in antivirus scanned this Mac download and rated it as virus free. The following versions: 8.3, 8.2 and 7.2 are the most frequently downloaded ones by the program users.
Find My Friends has been around since iOS 6. Until El Capitan, the Mac OS hasn't had a dedicated way of accessing someone's location. That's because it's been under Details in Messages. To use this feature the person has to agree to share their location with you.
On any Apple device running Messages, clicking or tapping mac os. Details will show you the location of your contact. If they haven't agreed to share with you, there won't be a map of their location.
This works nearly identically in iOS and Mac OS. In iOS, it will show your location relative to that contact. With iOS, if you want to share your location with that person, select

Get Contact Information
Instead of opening Contacts and searching for the person, just find a message from that contact. In iOS, after tapping Details, tap the circled i icon. That brings up the card for the contact. On the Mac, right click on the name in Messages and select Show Contact Card.
Do Not Disturb
If one contact is bothering you when you're trying to get work done (sorry Mom), you can essentially mute just that person. The messages go through, you just won't get notifications they sent you via messages. Random mac os. This feature works the same on iOS and Mac OS.
Start a FaceTime Chat
Text messages and emoji don't always help you communicate. Sometimes your voice and face help you express yourself. Instead of switching apps, you can start a Facetime session in iOS or Mac OS directly from the Messages application.

On an iPhone, if you tap the picture of the phone receiver, you'll get the choice of FaceTime Audio or a Voice Call. If you'd like to add video, select the camera icon to start a video chat session.
Manage Pictures Sent From that Contact
Pictures people send you from Messages aren't automatically saved to your pictures. Instead of scrolling up in a conversation trying to remember when the picture was sent, scroll down a bit in details. If that contact sent you a pic, all those pictures will be there. Tap or select a picture and you'll get a few options. In iOS, you can copy it (great for sharing the picture in another conversation), delete it (that's a great way to clear up some space on your iPhone or iPad ) or you can save it. The options in Mac OS are similar: Open, Add to Photos Library, or Delete.
It works for attachments too:Secret Simon Mac Os Download

This feature only works if both parties are running Yosemite or above. You'll notice the standard Mac screen sharing icons in the Details The author and the deadline mac os. tab. Click on that icon. You'll either invite the person to share your screen or you'll ask to share their screen. This trick is handy if the other person is non-technical and may not be able to find the Apple screen sharing app. All they need to do is wait for your request in Messages. Sadly, this doesn't work between Mac OS and iOS.
