The Keynote will be available to stream on apple.com, the Apple Developer app, the Apple TV app, and the Apple YouTube channel. On-demand playback will be available after the conclusion of the stream.

Looks like no one’s replied in a while. To start the conversation again, simply ask a new question.

Group Chats

I started a group chat; they are not all iPhone users. How can I delete people or add people to that chat?

You can't sorry. Since the chat is being sent via your cellular provider either SMS/MMS, once set, the group can't be modified. This is not an Apple or iPhone issue. This is an issue with your cellular provider. If everyone in the group was iOS, meaning the message was exclusively iMessage, you can add or remove people as that is entirely under the control of Apple.
