Is your name Casey?

Yes

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

You can use by adding the @ before the name

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

Literally no different than just typing the name

It pings them regardless of do not disturb being on or off

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

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.

Just wait till they long press the send button the first time.

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.

Wow do you have any more hidden features?

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.

Instead of recording a Memoji message, make the face you want then press and hold to drag that as an emoji and place anywhere on a message

cardinalsfanokc t1_iy97jzt wrote

You have to tag them, not just use their name but yes, this is why.

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.

mt1337 t1_iy9g5mn wrote

that's just the @ mention in iMessage. You can get it by typing @<your-contact-name>

Kungsgrillen t1_iy9qccz wrote

You don’t need the @

MH2019 t1_iyatrc5 wrote

You either need the @ or you need to type the name and then select it from suggestions (I find using @ faster)

Wylde117 t1_iy92g99 wrote

When your mom typed "Casey", she has tapped on the contact displayed in the suggested word bar which highlights it in blue like this.

Blue letters/grey bubble means a contact was mentioned.

Also you need to pay one of those chicks who do beat producer tags to say “WAKE UP C4SEY” now…

Go to settings -> messages and scroll to the bottom of the page. There’s a setting called Notify Me, you have that enabled if your name in your phone is Casey

buck_blue t1_iyaw1qs wrote

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.

Hold up, you’re telling me my name will turn blue if it’s typed?

Trickybuz93 t1_iya18hr wrote

It’s like if you’re tagging someone in your message (as long as they’re saved in your contacts)

2

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.

You can do it too! As long as they’re saved in your contacts and you are messaging them directly or in a group chat. It’s kind of like tagging them if you’ve ever worked with MS Teams or similar.

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.

ClumsyDopeFeen OP t1_iycvibg wrote

I work overnights so I sleep late anyway, but I am a heavy sleeper so anything short of blowing my phone up or a natural disaster I’ll pretty much sleep forever
