With Messages for Mac, you can send unlimited messages to any Mac, iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch that uses iMessage, Apple's secure-messaging service. iPhone owners can use it for SMS and MMS messages, too.

Set up iMessage

iMessage is the Apple messaging service you get automatically with your Apple ID.If it's not already set up, you're asked to sign in when you first open the Messages app. Sign in with same Apple ID that you use with Messages on your iPhone and other devices. It's usually the same Apple ID that you use for iCloud, the iTunes Store, the App Store, and the account you created when you first set up your Mac.

Have a conversation

  1. Click at the top of the Messages window.
  2. Address your message by typing the recipient's name, email address, or phone number. Or click and choose a recipient. If they're in your Contacts app, Messages finds them as you type. To start a group conversation, just add more recipients.
  3. Type your message in the field at the bottom of the window, then press Return to send it.

    • See the recipient's location—if they're sharing their location with you.
    • Review all of the photos and files that were exchanged in the conversation.
    • Add a group name, add members to a group, or leave a group. If the group has four or more members, you can remove members: Control-click the member's name, then choose Remove from Conversation.

With macOS Sierra or later, you can also use Siri to send, read, and reply to Messages:

  • ”Send a message to Susan and Johnny saying I'll be late' or ”Tell Johnny Appleseed the show is about to start” or ”Text a message to 408 555 1212.”
  • ”Read the last message from Brian Park” or ”Read my new messages.”
  • ”Reply that's great news” or ”Tell him I'll be there in 10 minutes.”

Add a Tapback to a message

macOS Sierra introduces Tapback to the Mac. A Tapback is a quick response that expresses what you think about a message, such as that you like it or think it's funny. In the image above, the heart next to ”See you then!' is a Tapback. Here's how to do it:

  1. Control-click a message bubble to open a shortcut menu.
  2. Choose Tapback from the menu.
  3. Click a Tapback to add it to the message bubble.

Your Tapback is visible to everyone in the conversation who is using iMessage with macOS Sierra or later or iOS 10 or later. Other iMessage users see 'Liked' or 'Laughed at' or 'Emphasized,' for example, followed by the text of that message.

iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch also have Tapback, as well as other message effects available only on those devices. Most such affects look the same on your Mac when you receive them. Others appear as a description of the effect, such as ”(sent with Loud Effect).”

Love it or hate it, the launcher on the Samsung Galaxy S8 and S8 Plus features unread notification badges on app icons. In case you’re unfamiliar, we’re referring to the little numbered bubbles next to app icons that designate how many unread notifications that app currently has. If you’re not a fan of these badges (which many people aren’t), luckily there are a couple different ways to remove them from your app icons.

Below you’ll find two ways to remove these badges from your icons. The first is a temporary fix, meant only to clear the badge from the icon until another notification shows up. The second method is permanent and will require you to download a third-party app to turn this feature off.

Without any further delay, here’s how to disable notification badges on your Galaxy S8:

How to clear notification badges from app icons on the Galaxy S8 (temporary)

To temporarily clear a notification badge from an app icon, find the icon (either on your phone’s home screen or in the app drawer), then perform these simple steps:

Change mac app icons
  1. Long-press (press and hold) the app icon.
  2. Select Clear badge from the menu.

That’s it! The notification badge will be removed from the app icon until you receive another notification for that particular app.

Of course, that’s only the temporary fix. If you no longer want to see any notification badges on your app icons, you’ll need to download a separate app for that. Unfortunately Samsung doesn’t provide an easy way to do this in the settings menu.

How to disable notification badges on the Galaxy S8 (permanent)

Reset Messages App Mac

First, download Package Disabler Pro from the Google Play Store link below. It costs $1.49, but we’d say the low price is worth it.

Not so fast! After Package Disabler Pro is installed on your Galaxy S8, you’ll need to make sure to make sure all icon badges are cleared from all your apps using the instructions attached above. If any are left over, the notification badges will be stuck until you redo this process. So to save yourself some time and effort, clear them out now so you don’t have to start over.

Once you’ve cleared all icon badges from your apps, follow these steps:

  1. Open Package Disabler Pro.
  2. Create and enter a password in the text field, then tap Enable Admin.
  3. Tap Activate on the next screen.
  4. Scroll down until you find the BadgeProvider entry, then check the box next to it.
    1. Warning: Do not check any additional boxes on this screen. Checking the wrong box could disable key functions on your Galaxy S8.
  5. Exit the app.

And that’s all! As long as you have this application installed on your device, notification badges won’t show up. If you need to bring them back for some reason, either uninstall the app or uncheck the box next to the BadgeProvider entry.
