12 New Features For Messages in iOS 11

I appreciate you Andrew. I wonder if anyone else notices the iPhone 5 design for your example. Hehe.

Also, you might know this but maybe others don’t. But in messages, iOS 10 introduced Do Not Disturb for individual txt contacts as well as Send Read Receipt. iOS 11 changed the name to Hide Alerts.

iOS 11 introduced a new feature (I think), when you are looking at all of Messages > swipe left on individual contact / message and Hide Alerts will show up (and Delete) so that you don’t have to go into the txt conversation and then (i) info to get to that point. Saves some steps.

PLEASE tell me theres a way to remove the tool bar at the bottom of the screen in a mesage convo! It completely ruins the looks of the convo.
