If you were the software engineer in charge of writing iMessage, What would you do to improve it or add to it to make it even better?

Don't know that I would, it's the one feature I use the most. Happy with as it is.

Other than making it a little more reliable, I'd make it possible to reply from the notification without exiting the current app. :) (I realize this is probably more a change to iOS itself, but it's the feature I most want.)

Make it more like BBM regarding features. Not a PIN. BBM can do a lot more.

I would like the timestamp of the messages to be visible directly in the message window without having to "slide the message to the left".

Wow! I didn't even know you could do this! Thank you! That has been a pet peeve of mine, not seeing timestamps!

Thanks again!

How about syncing accurately across all devices & MacBooks
I often have to delete iMessages from my MBA that already have been deleted from my iPhone or iPad.
Good Luck

For it not to hold a persons phone number hostage when the person switches to non iPhone device.

I myself am very happy with the way things work with the Native App and if it ain't broke.... Don't try and fix it!
