  • Messages in iCloud returns in Apple's iOS 11.3 beta 1

    The Messages in iCloud was a feature that I was really looking forward to in the current iOS, so I was disappointed it didn't make it in.  I am glad to hear that it may finally be coming out.  That said, I really wish they would go a bit further than just putting my messages in the cloud and make this a more dynamic useful integration of several different features ... 

    MESSAGES IN ICLOUD FEATURES
    1. Syncing - Obviously Syncing of Messages across all Apple Devices
    2. Single Tool for Text, Voice, Video - Closer relationship of communications options with a contact using Messages so that Text, Voice, and Video are all easily accessible or even a single tool.  More closely relate the Messages App to FaceTime App, Phone App, and Contacts App.  Make it easier to initiate a phone call or FaceTime call with a Messages contact.
    3. Voicemail - Moving Visual Voicemail to Messages so that Voicemail from a contact shows up in their text stream as a voice recording and text transcription.
    4. Videomail - Allow FaceTime callers to leave a VideoMail that would also appear in the Messages stream for that contact.
    5. Shared Photos to iCloud Photo - Automatically place images from a contacts text messages into a iCloud Photo Album named after the contact and directly linked from Messages.
    6. Save Shared Links - Automatically save any shared links in a shared links menu for easy access
    7. Easier Location Sharing - Closer relationship of Messages with the Find Friends App.  Make it easier to share locations and view shared locations
    I would really love to hear the Apple Community imagine where Apple could go with these communications services.
