Here's everything new coming to Messages in iOS 18

Apple has a variety of powerful updates in store for iOS 18's Messages app. Here are all the new goodies coming your way.

The classic thumbs up, heart, and more are being splashed with full color and new designs that will make them fit in better among the wider array of new tapback options. Prep a message in iOS or iPadOS 18 and, if you don’t want to send it right away, you can choose a later day and time for it to automatically go out. Essentially, by adding RCS support in iOS 18, Apple will make your conversations with Android users more reliable than before.
