iMessage service

With the Messages app and the built-in iMessage service, you can send unlimited text messages
over Wi-Fi using iOS 5 or later, or using OS X Mountain Lion or later. Messages can include
photos, videos, and other info. You can see when people are typing, and let them know when
you’ve read their messages. iMessages are displayed on all of your iOS devices logged in to the
same account, so you can start a conversation on one device and continue it on another. For
security, iMessages are encrypted before they’re sent.
