New in iOS 14
iOS 14 makes keeping in touch with Messages more fun and personal than ever.
Create a group conversation
Mac App Store is the simplest way to find and download apps for your Mac. To download apps from the Mac App Store, you need a Mac with OS X 10.6.6 or later. Apple’s Messages app didn’t make the list because it only runs on iOS and macOS, and not on Android devices, which are used by the majority of the world’s smartphone users. However, with Facebook’s messaging merger, now is the time for Apple to finally bring Messages to Android. To make sure that your Apple ID and password are correct, go to the Apple ID account page and sign in with the same Apple ID that you're using with Messages and FaceTime. If that works, open the app and take these steps: Messages: Choose Messages Preferences, then click Accounts. Select your iMessage account, then click Sign Out. Using the Complimentary Desktop App you can: - Export the messages to an Excel File - Export the messages to an HTML file - Export the messages to CSV, TXT or EML. Select one or all contacts from your address book - Sort the messages by date or number iOS 10 ready! Requirements: - Mac OS X 10.6 - 10.11.
Start a group conversation with your friends and family, give the group a name, and add or remove people from the group.

Messages in iCloud are updated automatically, so you always have the same view everywhere you use iMessage. When you delete a message, photo, or conversation on one device, it’s removed from all of your devices. And since all of your attachments are stored in iCloud, you can save space on your device.
You can use Messages in iCloud on your iPhone, iPad, and Mac.
