Apple working on iMessage upgrades for iOS 15, may make it better than WhatsApp for iPhone users

Apple has been reported to introduce new social media-like features to iMessage with its iOS 15 update. The changes will then put the messaging service directly against several Facebook-owned platforms.

Apple is set to introduce a major update to the way apps work on its mobile platform, iOS. Some of these changes, mainly focused on user privacy, will be reflected in the upcoming iOS 14.5. Others might make their way to iPhones and iPads through iOS 15 and iPadOS 15 due to be launched later this year. Among these will be an enhancement to iMessage that will put Apple's messaging service at par with its competitors like WhatsApp. The update will bring social media-centric features to the chat app. Though the impending changes have not been specified as of now, a Bloomberg report mentions the same. If the speculations turn out to be true, the iOS 15 might be another fuel in the fire burning between Apple and Facebook.
