iOS 14 & Latest macOS introduced hundreds of features comprising minor changes and major updates. The native Messages App for iPhone and Mac got some bigger, like Pinning up to 9 Conversations at once, a Special Mute feature for Group Chats, Inline Replies, Mentions, Typing Indicators, Enhanced Memojis, and more. Another noticeable change in the Messages App is in Group Chats, till now Apple won’t let us Add Group Name and Photos to Messages on iPhone and Mac, just like WhatsApp, Facebook Groups, and other social media applications.
Previously, the Group Conversations only showed the Contact Names and Photos if you have been assigned to their contact, so it’s kind of chaotic to find the group without any sort of identification. In some cases, we have the same contact in two different groups. What will you do about that? Rather add name and photo on iMessage Group on iOS 14 and macOS Big Sur on iPhone, iPad, and Mac, respectively.
