Messages with iMessage

Send text messages from iPod touch to other iOS or Mac users over Wi-Fi. Text a little. Text a lot. Text as much as your thumbs can handle. It’s unlimited. And it’s free.

• Unlimited texts over Wi‑Fi.

  With the Messages app on iPod touch, you can text other iOS or Mac devices using iMessage. It’s free and unlimited. You can even send photos, videos, locations, and contacts. Or have Siri send a text for you. Everything happens over Wi-Fi. Your messages are securely encrypted. And if you have more than one iOS device, iMessage keeps the conversation going across all of them.

• Group messaging.

  Text one-on-one or send one for all. Group messages let you keep multiple friends in the loop. Give your study group a heads-up about where you’re sitting in the library or tell the family you’re running late for dinner. Just add multiple recipients in the To field and let the chatter begin.

• Read receipts.

  It can be a little bothersome not knowing if your text was read or even received. Happily, Messages lets you know if and when your text went through. If your friend has read receipts enabled, you’ll see that your message was read. And you’ll always know when your friend is in the middle of typing a reply because iMessage shows you ellipses inside a chat bubble.
