Sending messages with one another can sometimes involve saying something you want to take back or sending something with too many typos. Apple users will be able to easily delete messages on their MacBook by following a few simple steps.

Sending Messages on the Apple MacBook

According to the story by Screen Rant, some users will choose texting with their friends by using the computer due to it being easier to type using a keyboard compared to typing while using the phone. Aside from it being easier, some users end up with too many typos when not using an actual keyboard.

The good thing is that users can easily utilize iMessage on their MacBook in order to send texts back and forth from their computers. The messages will reportedly show up on the users' phones making it easier to carry out the conversation when they are switching devices.

All users need to do is to open the app and find their current conversations on the right side. Whenever users want to open a conversation, it will appear on the right side of the app.
