Grouping of iMessage threads: Humans vs Notifications
This is more of a feature request than a question.
I'm suggesting to improve iMessage by organising conversations by sender type.
Our SMS inbox is cluttered with service notifications. Some examples are banking & payment updates, order and delivery information, mobile carrier updates, marketing messages, and lots of one time passcodes for authentication.
These are single use messages that heavily saturate the conversation list with human friends.
I would love to see the experience improved by removing notifications from messaging with real people.
Separation based on behaviour would do: real conversations are ones where users reply, while notifications get no response.
A filter like this would help skimming through conversations and keep in touch with people with less scrolling.
