Every connection has its own unique code, which acts as an identifier for the route that should be used to send a message to a specific device. Just like APNS it sets up a Keep-Alive connection with the Apple servers. While there are sources that claim the iMessage protocol is based on XMPP, the protocol is actually based on Apple push notifications (APNS) - a proprietary, binary protocol. IMessage is very similar to MMS therefore, it not only allows the user to send plain text, but also allows the user to send pictures, movies, locations, and contacts. IMessage also allows users to set up chats with more than two people - a "group chat". If the recipient enables Read Receipts, the sender will be able to see that the recipient has read the message. On iPhones, green buttons and text bubbles indicate SMS-based communication on all iOSĭevices, blue buttons and text bubbles indicate iMessage communication.Īll iMessages are encrypted and can be tracked using delivery receipts. iMessage-specific functions operate only between machines running iOS 5 or later or running Mountain Lion or later, but, on the iPhone, Messages can use SMS to communicate with non-iOS devices, or with other iPhones when iMessage is unavailable. It is also possible to start a conversation on one iOS device and continue it on another.

A pale blue ellipsis appears in the text bubble of the other user when a reply is started. In Messages, a user can see if the other iMessage user is typing a message. If they do, it will seamlessly transition from SMS to iMessage. For iPhone users who have an active data connection, Messages will check with Apple if the recipient has iMessage set up. Owners of these devices can register one or more email addresses with Apple, and, additionally, iPhone owners will have registered their phone numbers with Apple. IMessage is accessible through the Messages app on an iPhone, iPad or iPod touch running iOS 5 or later or on a Mac running OS X Mountain Lion or later. IMessage allows users to send texts, documents, photos, videos, contact information, and group messages over Wi-Fi, 3G or LTE to other iOS or OS X users, thus providing an alternative to standard SMS/MMS messaging for all users with devices running iOS 5 or later.

On November 13, 2012, iMessage was blamed for a decline in US text messaging. On October 24, 2012, Apple announced that iMessage received 28,000 iMessages a second, with 300 billion iMessages sent so far, on that date. Mountain Lion, with Messages, was released on July 25, 2012. On February 16, 2012, Apple announced that a new OS X Messages application with support for iMessage, replacing iChat, will be part of OS X Mountain Lion.
