In this chapter, we will talk about one of the hot new features of iOS 10, which is integrating the Messages app with stickers and extensions. Competing with the current messaging apps is almost an impossible mission and that's why Apple has opened the door for developers to put their touches to Messages app to make it more interesting and fancy. In iOS 10, you can create app extensions that interact with Messages app to send text, stickers, media files, and much more. We have the following two types of extensions:
- Stickers: You can add fancy stickers that users can get/buy from the App Store to integrate with their iMessage app and send them to their friends.
- iMessages apps: This is where users can integrate with your app without having to lease the iMessage app. Users can use your app to send content such as documents, payment, and photos.
