iOS 9 - I want: Add "As a favorite" setting option in the Messages app

May 28, 2015

How do you like the definition of "as a favorite" in Messages texts?

There are times when I am chatting with a friend or participating in a group chat and someone writes something very successful, funny, moving or important and I would like to be able to define this text as "favorite". Such an action would then help to search for it in the future if I wished to see it again.

I am well aware that I don't have this feature in the current operating system, but maybe I could find it in the upcoming iOS 9;

I think a lot of people are responding with a emoji icon, wanting to show not only what they liked about a message but also the feeling it evoked. Unfortunately, however, the icons do not help us in order to refer to the specific message, in the future (searching the messages is not enough).

By adding the definition option "as Favorite" in the functional iOS 9, it would be easier to send, for example, our favourite texts to social networks such as Twitter and in Facebook. We could show the person we are talking to that we not only read their message, but that it touched us and we appreciate it.

In addition, we could refer back to his message when necessary. H Apple already has interaction mechanisms in the pre-installed application "Messages". By touching the text, a pop-up menu appears with various options. If an option is added there "Favorite" or "Like" could be a way to show how much you appreciated a message. As well as refer back to that message in the future.

To go one step further, a list of the "favorites Messages Text", it will not be difficult to add it to any conversation and be available from the details page, just as it is now with the location and attachments. A complete list of essentially everything defined as Favorite Text Messages, plus a virtual button which could be in the form of a star, for example.

Best of all would be to synchronize with all the Apple Devices iPhone – iPad ή Mac, just as the Apple in "favorites" in the application "Photos". It is certainly not a major change, or perhaps to some it may seem overwhelming, but the Messages app is important and often it is the small additions that make the difference.

Η Apple is well aware of this. Improve the application by adding groups to the functional iOS 8 and OS X Yosemite. On Apple Watch, he added the ability to send heart rate and sketches. So we expect in the functional iOS 9 and OS X, adding Favorites.

We are waiting for your suggestions for the additions, large or small, that you would like to see in the functional iOS 9. use the comments to make them public.
