What is BiteSMS?
biteSMS is a popular third-party messaging and SMS app for jailbroken iPhones and iPads. It offers a range of additional features over the default Messages app, including:
- Quick reply to messages directly from notifications without opening the app
- Scheduled messages to send texts at specific dates and times in the future
- Message theming with custom chat bubble styles, fonts, and backgrounds
- Contact photos displayed in message threads
- Conversation grouping to organize message threads by contact
- Password protection and private folders to hide conversations
- Support for iMessage and standard SMS/MMS
- A variety of plugins and extensions for added functionality
biteSMS provides greater customization and personalization of the messaging experience on iPhone and iPad. It has been a popular choice for users who jailbreak their devices to get more options for messaging and texting. However, since iOS 10, the default Messages app has included many features that were once exclusive to biteSMS.
