Messages for Business

A whole new way to talk to companies.

Now you can start a conversation and ask for information directly from Messages on your iPhone or iPad. Which makes connecting with your favourite companies as easy as texting your favourite people.

A conversation that’s easy to start.

If you’re looking up a company in Maps, Safari or Search, simply tap the Messages icon to send a text. Many businesses also let you start a conversation directly from their own app or website.

Control what you share. And when you chat.

Only you can start a conversation. And when you do, the company can’t see personal information, like your name or phone number, unless you choose to share it for appointments or deliveries. Once you delete a message thread, the company can’t contact you again until you start another conversation.

Talk to a real person. Or easily get to one.

Most often, your conversations will be with a live agent. You might get a fast, automated response for simple requests, but a real person will be available if needed.

Give it a go.

We’re already working with a variety of innovative companies who want to connect to their customers through Messages for Business. And we’ll be adding many more partners over time.
