1. Download Messages For Macbook Air
2. How To Use Messages On Mac

Thanks Alex. This is the outcome that I was afraid of.

Download Message+ for macOS 10.12 or later and enjoy it on your Mac. ‎People on the go can’t be tied down to one place or one device. Use Verizon Messages to seamlessly send and receive messages on your Smartphone, iOS device, tablet and desktop (MAC, PC and Web). Disappointingly, Apple doesn’t offer any cloud-based platform like Android where you can stack up a webpage and reply to messages. Indeed, iMessage is an Apple dependent platform that requires an Apple gadget to send or receive messages. Download Messages for PC free at BrowserCam. Even though Messages application is introduced for Google Android in addition to iOS by FORBIS s.r.o. You may install Messages on PC for MAC computer. There exist's couple of necessary points below that you will have to follow before you begin to download Messages. IGDM takes your Instagram messages to a whole new level. It takes a few seconds to install, it's completely free to use, and it has so many native features that you'd love to use while you message back and forth with your friends and family. Get started now! Start Free Windows Download. Start Free Mac Download.

The way this shakes out is that once a user reaches 5GB of anything on their iOS device(s) that are uploading to iCloud, there is only the choice of deleting and losing content or making the lifetime commitment of paying for cloud storage with Apple. Google & Co. solved that problem for us with Google Photos, and document content is discrete to the document, so those types of files can be backed up elsewhere, then erased from the iOS device(s) and ultimately from iCloud. Messages however, along with the associated attachments is kind of like an Outlook .pst file, in that it can't be 'subdivided' if you will. While I have found free third party software that will actually offload the iMessage and texting content from my iPhone, it won't grab the images and attachments. So, if I were to delete content from the iOS devices, I'd lose the attachments.

iCloud is, to me, the best way to back up iOS devices because it is so painless, but committed users who have multiple iOS devices with discrete content on each quickly run out of storage space on iCloud. While it is cheap to buy more space, 12 bucks a year, being unable to download to a mass storage device connected to a PC makes this a lifetime commitment.

Am I missing anything?
