You can send a poll, play a game, record audio messages, share songs, and more—all with iMessage apps—without leaving the Messages app. You can customize your list of available apps or add iMessage apps you find in the App Store.
The Messages app comes with iMessage apps for sending photos, videos, audio messages, stickers, and more, and you can rearrange them in the order you like. You can even download additional iMessage apps for more options.
