The last major iOS update to version number 5 brought many innovations, including Messages (iMessage). A smart application thanks to which you can send messages, pictures and videos between iDevices (iPhone, iPod Touch, iPad) free of charge! Here are 3 tips how to improve the use, without such a great program. For 100% effectiveness, your friends should also know these tips.

1. Read Receipts

The Messages application has the ability to notify when the recipient has read your message and, conversely, when you have read the sender's message. The feature is disabled by default. In 'Settings' (I set the language to Czech), select 'Messages' and then enable 'Read confirmation', this way your contacts will see when you have read a message from them.

2. Get in sync!

We remain in the settings and specifically on the item 'Receive on'. If you have more than one e-mail address and want to receive messages on one common account, add it here. Each new address must be confirmed via a verification email. This way, even people who have only one of them will find you.

3. Caller ID

The feature is only available to users with more than one email account connected to Messages (tip number 2).

After the shovel; you determine what your contacts will see when receiving your messages. You can choose either your number if you're using an iPhone, or your main email address. Personally, I would choose an e-mail address if you use Messages on an iPod Touch or iPad that does not have a phone number.
