Yes

That’s it then. As someone else just said, it pings a particular person if you use their name in a chat.

Never knew this, thanks for the help!

You can use by adding the @ before the name
Kungsgrillen t1_iy9qdm8 wrote
You don’t need the @
vanhalenbr t1_iy9qkbj wrote
It works better using it, it’s not mandatory but then you need to type on the name
Kungsgrillen t1_iy9qpkq wrote
Nah tap either way
MrEcksDeah t1_iya2w3a wrote
Literally no different than just typing the name
Dexrad24 t1_iyat8z2 wrote
It pings them regardless of do not disturb being on or off
MrEcksDeah t1_iyb5vlf wrote
Source for that?
Dexrad24 t1_iyb5zdb wrote
I use it to ping my friends lol. They were blown when I showed them
MrEcksDeah t1_iyb6btc wrote
I mean it does that when you just type it and tag them. I don’t believe having the @ changes anything.
Dexrad24 t1_iyb6o4h wrote
@[name] automatically bolds it. Just typing in the name of the recipient, your phone would prompt you if you wanna bold it (for pinging). You can try it right now on iMessage

it’s literally one character different.

You’re welcome! I believe this was added in iOS 15, but could be wrong.
Penumbruh_ t1_iy9vux3 wrote
You are correct! This feature was added alongside the focus mode features and was poised as a way to take break and tailor you phone to certain times of the day but also still be reachable in cases of emergencies (via tagging in iMessage)
Imaginesafety t1_iy9akxc wrote
They typed @Casey or whatever your contact is for them and it filled in like that. I use that feature in group chats or when I’m feeling weird.

My weird tech-phobe husband discovered this by accident and I couldn’t figure out why the hell his messages were being sent quietly and loudly (and of course he certainly didn’t know). The bubbles were also hilarious. For a while there he was an imessage version of boomer facebook.

You can control to focus distance of Portrait mode in the camera app using the circle "f" button that appears in the upper righthand corner of the app.

cardinalsfanokc t1_iy97jzt wrote
You have to tag them, not just use their name but yes, this is why.
A_SnoopyLover t1_iyafdwz wrote
No I’ve had it do it without typing the @ sign doesn’t always work but sometimes it does.

There’s a couple notification settings that you can toggle on/off for iMessage. One of those settings is a specific notification if someone mentions your name.
This is helpful for a like a group text that you have muted, for example. You would get notified if someone said your name in there even though the chat is silenced.

In a group chat? Is the initial notification not good enough anymore? Like sending a text to someone is the ultimate “@“.. I can’t seem to find any functional use with it, but I’ve only tried it texting with my SO.

It’s like if you’re tagging someone in your message (as long as they’re saved in your contacts)
SkepticalHikerr t1_iyal0pt wrote
If you write your contacts name and then hold it and let go you’ll be able to do the same. If your contact is John smith, write John, hold it and let go, then you’ll be able to do it
buck_blue t1_iyav7ok wrote
What is the point of it though? I saw someone else say it’s like tagging someone. But if you’re already texting them, they’re tagged, are they not? Group text could be useful if it notifies that person and that person alone, but you could just send a regular text at that point.

Hey can I ask a quick question? I only ask because I know also of someone who wakes up very late in the afternoon (like no amount of alarms can wake them up). Or is it one type of thing? I tried all sorts of things for them, but they need at least 12 hours at night and then can even fall asleep in the evening as well. Meanwhile I can wake up from my neighbor sneezing.
