Here is how to send iMessage on iPhone and iPad.<\/p>

iMessage gets more convenient and feature-rich with every iOS update. It lets you send data-based text, photo, video, and audio messages to anyone on any Apple device and also lets you share your location with someone, either indefinitely or for a set duration. This makes it incredibly convenient to communicate and interact with anyone else who owns an Apple device. <\/p>

The group chat feature in iMessage is also especially fun for family conversations. <\/p>

    Texts you send and receive using iMessage don\u2019t count against your SMS\/MMS allowances in your cellular messaging plan, but cellular data rates may apply. iMessage texts can include photos, videos, and other content. You can see when other people are typing and send read receipts to let them know when you\u2019ve read their messages. <\/p>

    You can also undo and edit sent messages. For security, messages sent using iMessage are encrypted before they\u2019re sent.<\/p>

    SMS messages are short text messages, while MMS messages may include text, graphics, audio, video, and other media.<\/p>

    When you turn on iMessage in iCloud, every message you send and receive on your iPad is saved in iCloud. And, when you sign in with the same Apple ID on a new device that also has Messages in iCloud turned on, all your conversations show up there automatically.<\/p>

    Go to Settings \"\" > [your name<\/em>] > iCloud, then turn on Messages (if it\u2019s not already turned on).<\/p>

    After you turn on Messages in iCloud, any messages or attachments you delete from your iPad are also deleted from your other Apple devices (iOS 11.4, iPadOS 13, macOS 10.13.5, or later) where you have iMessages in iCloud turned on. <\/p>
