iMessage service

With the Messages app and the built-in iMessage service, you can send unlimited text messages
over Wi-Fi to others using iOS 5 or later, or OS X Mountain Lion or later. Messages can include
photos, videos, and other info. You can see when other 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 of your devices and continue it on
another device. For security, iMessages are encrypted before they’re sent.
