Messages also serves as the text-messaging application for Mac users, enabling communication through iMessage as well as SMS and MMS via your iPhone. With Messages on Mac, you can send an unlimited number of messages to any compatible device, including Macs, iPhones, iPads, or iPod touches utilizing iMessage. This integration ensures that your messaging experience remains consistent and convenient across all your Apple devices.
