Apple doesn't read here for feedback. They do have, however, a feedback page:

http://www.apple.com/feedback

Apple is very clear that they do not respond to the feedback, though all of it is read. They also do not respond here.

Petitions are not permitted here but there may well be other venues for that.

Best of luck.

What did you expect them to say? "I'm sorry. We'll change the way iOS works, demand the developer of Mighty text produce an app and it will be done by a week from Tuesday!" It would be like going into a car dealership and complaining that none of the cars they sell have right hand drive.

If you want to complain to Apple, use the correct method:

http://www.apple.com/feedback

yes apple does not allow third party apps to access the data, like sms. Thats totally fine. But then apple should be able to do it something on its own; something similar to google. When you log in to google account , you have your drive, email, contacts,photos, sms (using google voice number or hangouts) all at one place. Apples alternative is icloud, when you login to icloud, you have your cloud drive, email, photos, contacts all at same place. But the question is why not sms? If apple can make it happen between iphone and imac (both for imessages and texts), why cant it do the same thing between iphone and a PC browser. Just my thought. Some one commented, its because apple does not store sms data on their servers, its both user privacy and security issue. But i am wondering how does it happen between and iphone and a mac then? Apple should be able to figure out this security thing ! not sure, but thats my understanding.

And this is why I won't be buying the new iPhone 8. As much as I'd like to give Apple phones a try seeing as how they FINALLY integrated wireless charging ( and not a proprietary version at that!), keeping something as useful and convenient as being able to text from a PC or Android/iOS tablet from their devices is just stupid.

Apple has made no announcements about wireless charging. Speculation about future Apple products is prohibited here.

You should always buy the tool that best meets your needs. No one here knows what that is or has any vested interest in what you choose.

Best of luck.

What did you expect? It's their forum. Therefore, their rules. There are lots of other forums out their where you can speculate about Apple products to your heart's content.

You are also free to call Customer Support. Use the link at the upper right corner of every page. But, seriously, as someone who worked in retail for 20 years, I can tell you that the front line people don't really have any control over things like this. They can say they sympathize. They can say they'll pass the information on. And that's really all. They can't do anything. The feedback page gets the information to the people who can do something. They can look at the aggregated data. They probably have charts and graphs and tables saying who suggested what an how many people complained about something else. And some decisions are most likely based on that data. I know that where I used to work (a company not that far behind Apple in the Fortune 500), upper management paid a lot more attention to the customer feedback that came in through feedback channels than it did to anything I or my colleagues ever said.

So, you can badger people who can't do anything or you can get the information to the people who can.

MightyText is not on iOS.

Are there any apps that allow for managing all communication (text and iMessages) from your computer?

The issue I'm having is iMessages does not send/receive texts. If an iPhone user responds to my message but steps out of range of wifi, I won't see it on my laptop, because it came through as a text. It makes for a very inefficient workflow. Thoughts?

"If an iPhone user responds to my message but steps out of range of wifi, I won't see it on my laptop, because it came through as a text"

Why do you think they will come through as text? They won't.

If they are sent as iMessages, they are not sent as text, whether the sender is on wifi or not.

Hey Chris...we all know that mighty text is not on IOS. That was the point of the post. Mighty Text for android, hands down, is superior in all ways to Imessage. Being able to send/receive texts (not to mention pictures, videos) from your computer to other phones..regardless of OS, through your phone is AWESOME! The fact that it instantaneously syncs with your phone at the same time is amazing.

I can't believe that Apple hasn't figured out a way to do it. Here's a newsflash, not everyone is on IOS.

It would be nice if Apple allowed Mighty Text to make an app for the iPhone. I think this is the issue. Since most computer users operate on PCs, it would allow flexibility for those people who own iPhones as well as PCs.

Apple is not preventing Mighty Text from doing anything.

Perhaps you should contact Mighty Text and ask for an iOS version.

Well, according to Might Text website, Apple is not allowing SMS messaging. Follow this link: http://blog.mightytext.net/welcome-to-the-party-apple/
