Words with Friends

It’s very easy to play the popular Words with Friends game over iMessage.

All you have to do is open an iMessage thread of your choice and select the App Store icon that’s located near the keyboard.

Then, search for Words with Friends in the App Store and download “Words for iMessage Game”.

This app should then appear near your keyboard in iMessage threads and you just need to click it to start playing.

Hide iMessage notifications

This trick is useful if you’re worried about other people seeing iMessages popping up from a certain person on your iPhone.

Maybe you’re planning a surprise party or talking to an ex you said you wouldn’t contact again.

Find the message thread you want to mute but don’t open it.

Instead, swipe to the left of the iMessage thread and click the bell symbol so the alerts are turned off.

Send your location

Sending your exact location is a popular WhatsApp feature and you can also do it on iMessage.

If you’re trying to meet up with a friend but they can’t find you, open your iMessage chat with them.

Then, click their name.

You should see an option to “Send My Current Location”.

You may need to adjust your settings so your location can be shared.
