First Click: Apple turned iMessage into an MSN Messenger nightmare
I’ve been using iOS 10 for a number of weeks now thanks to a public beta, and I had been living in relative peace and tranquillity until last Tuesday. Apple unleashed its latest iOS 10 update to the world last week, and friends and family have been wreaking havoc on me ever since. Apple has made lots of changes to iOS 10, but the biggest is a new version of iMessage. It’s no longer about text or photo messages, it’s all about stickers, balloons, apps, and games.
I didn’t even realize you could send messages with balloons, confetti, or even fireworks attached, but I’ve certainly learned that from the various messages I’ve received over the past week.
