The new Messages feature is emphatically the cool ( or at the very least , the most long - awaited ) part , though , is the therapeutic to the fear iMessage unripened bubbles . Before , any of your non - Apple ecosystem friends would be imprisoned in your telephone set ; there was no means to access them on any other gadget that run Messages . Now , though , your phone will represent as a electrical relay , sending all messages to all of your other devices .
You ’ll also find telling on your computer any prison term you receive a call , displaying both the caller ID and the option to accept the call on speakerphone . But your sound does n’t even have to be in your information processing system ’s direct locality for this , as long as your on the same Wi - Fi web , you ’re good to go .
Of course , it ’s worth noting that Google Voice has been doing this for years , so Apple is fairly ho-hum on the intake . But withGoogle ever - so - slowly killing voice , Apple ’s Messages integration at the O tier could very well give Google the push it needs to reinvent Voice into a Hangout - brand rival .
What ’s more , a new lineament call off Handoff syncs all your Apple devices instantly , so if you start compose an email on your iPhone , you’re able to move over to your Mac and right away pluck up where you left off without ever have to lift a finger .
It ’s more than just instant syncing , though . You ’re devices are amply aware of each other . Anytime you ’re working on your iPhone near your Mac , a prompt will bulge out up in the quoin of your computer screen ( or vice versa ) , let you to flip devices seamlessly .
Hotspots have also been improved thanks to your devices newfangled incessant ( if mildly unsettling ) awareness . If you ’re using your Mac near your iPhone , you ’ll be mechanically actuate and asked to set up the telephone set as a hotspot .
The new features are only available to developer for now , but you should be able to string all your machine together sometime in the next few months .
