The stock Messages.app on the Apple iPhone is undoubtedly one of the most used apps that exists on the device. Sending and receiving text messages as well as multi-media communications and iMessages are all handed through Apple's native Messages app, and although it hasn't changed a great deal in the last six years, it still remains extremely functional. It's usually been left up to the jailbreak community to bring additions to this application in the past, and now is no different with the new MessageSwiper package that brings additional power to the app that is likely to be extremely well received.
Apple's Messages app does a reasonable job when it comes to quick communication, but functionality wise, it could certainly use a couple of improvements. As we continue to wait in hope, the jailbreak scene offers a multitude of options to enhance the experience, and a new tweak by the name of Messages (yes, confusing I know), helps you quickly and efficiently reply to, or compose, messages from anywhere on your device.
Carriers have had their customers over a metaphorical barrel for years, with over-priced SMS messages chief amongst the methods that have seen our cellular providers take us to the cleaners on regular occasions.

The beta release of Apple's new Messages app for the Mac may have a hidden secret, and it's one that could make getting files onto an iOS device as easy as 1,2,3. Apple recently made the beta release of its new Messages app available to the public, with the beta tag offering a sign that the app isn't quite complete just yet. While there will no doubt be visual tweaks as well as under the hood changes, we're also expecting new features to arrive before the app ships as a part of the new release of OS X - Mountain Lion.
