Q: How to have separate chats w/ same person in messages app
Hey guys,
is there a way to have multiple chats with the same contact but different addresses in the messages app (El Cap)?
My problem: I have two conversation with the same person: I text him via iMessage using his email address and via text message (phone number, no iPhone) that is displayed in the messages app through Continuity (or hands-off or whatever they call that). However, the iMessage chat and the text message chat (which is separate on my iPhone) is mixed within one chat on the Mac (i.e. mixture of blue and green bubbles). And when I type a message on the Mac it's a lottery whether it will be sent as an iMessage or as a text message. On the iPhone it's clearly distinct.
How can I have separate chats in the messages.app on my Mac?
Thanks,
Phil
