If iMessage is so great, why is the Messages experience so terrible?

Apple ’s Messages app may have lost the global messaging wars, but in many countriesincluding the U.S. It’s still an incredibly popular way of communicating.

Apple 's next big step in Messages needs to be to give users the power to control when and how we’re interrupted.

Apple , what I’m saying is: You’ve built a fun communication system with Messages, but your all-or-nothing notification system sucks. It’s time to apply some more intelligence to the matter, as well as give users more control, such as muting reactions or designating certain threads as “summarize only.” I love those emoji tapbacks, but I don’t want them to become so annoying that I end up turning them all off..
