Benjamin Levicek Most users no longer use their smartphones only for calling or sending SMS, but also for surfing the Internet and social networks, chatting with friends or taking photos. In addition to third-party applications, you can also use a native solution in the form of iMessage to chat with your loved ones. However, this doesn't just offer texting, but also the ability to connect content from different apps. In today's article, we will show you the best applications or extensions that will speed up your conversation considerably, make it special and often also entertain you.

Amaya Toman GIPHY
In native messages from Apple, you can express your feelings with the help of emoticons or emoji, and it should be noted that there are really countless of them, currently over 3000 emoticons. But what to do when you want to express your feeling using gifs, i.e. animated images? The GIPHY app will serve you perfectly. This is one of the largest databases of all kinds of gifs, and luckily, it also offers an application for iMessage.
Split It
Do you often go to a restaurant with friends, to make it easier you pay the amount together, but you don't want to count everything? Split It will be the ideal helper for you. Just create a group, enter all the expenses, their price and divide them among the members of the group, Split It will then calculate exactly how much each person has to pay. One of the benefits of this application is the ability to connect with iMessage, thanks to which you can send expenses really easily. Split It is not connected to any payment service, so it only serves as such a calculator. If you would like to have more than one group created at the same time, you will pay a symbolic 19 CZK at a time.

Polls for iMessage
In competing apps like WhatsApp or Messenger, you can create a poll in a group chat. This is especially useful when you need to agree on where to meet or what other decisions you will make as a group. Although Apple did not add this option to its application, thanks to Polls for iMessage you can create polls in group conversations really easily. After downloading, just use this application in a given conversation and create a poll, other users can vote and the software will show you a clear graph which option is most preferred.

Night Sky
As the name suggests, this app is for lovers of space, constellations and different planets. Simply point your phone at the sky and the software will show you which constellation is currently above you. In addition, thanks to the application for iMessage, you can forward this data to someone quite easily. The application is free, but for premium functions you have to pay 89 CZK per month, 579 CZK per year or 5 CZK for life.
Microsoft OneDrive
Despite the fact that it is a cloud storage from Microsoft, OneDrive works perfectly on Apple devices, to say the least. Microsoft OneDrive for iMessage allows you to send a file to a specific user without leaving the conversation. It is of course possible to write a text message to this file to explain what kind of file it is.
Spotify
I don't think I need to introduce this popular music streaming service to anyone. Here you will find a truly abundant number of songs, artists, albums and playlists. Whether you use the free or paid version, you can easily send your favorite song to anyone. Just open Spotify in the given conversation, search for the song and send it. If the user is using Spotify, they will be able to play the song directly in the Messages app, if not, they will be redirected to the website. Compared to, for example, Apple Music, Spotify is significantly better for iMessage, as even a person who is not registered with Spotify or only uses the free version will play the song.
