I have yet to see a chat interface on iOS meet the quality bar set by the Messages app
- interactive dismiss
- keyboard gesture that starts when your finger touches the search input
- uses content inset so you can see the keyboard blur effect
Me too, I use iMessage with a few friends though and while the experience is very polished the backend is abysmal :-/
Attaching a photo takes roughly 2s between tapping the photo and seeing it appear in the message composer, it’s nuts
