I'd like to use the force touch to do what it should on the messages app on the macbook pro 2021. it doesn't seem to work when you force touch the contact or thread. online support can't correct with SMC reset. is there a way to reinstall messages app?
MacBook Pro (2020 and later)
Hi epfalck,
Try long-pressing or long-clicking (using the trackpad or mouse) on the message that you want to react to.
I would normally say to reinstall macOS (which reinstalls Messages) to fix the issue, but that likely won't help the current situation. In fact, your Mac has secretly been making sure that macOS and most preinstalled apps (including Messages) are in perfect condition every time it starts up. If some system components were tampered with, your Mac would refuse to start up and require you to reinstall macOS.
