Just a day before Apple is set to launch iOS 10 software, they have released the new iMessage App Store as a teaser of what users can expect from the latest OS. It is a big deal for the Apple developers to add new features like Stickers, emoji’s GIFs, Secret messages, Scribbling on Photos and videos followed by Snapchat. iMessage apps will be like custom UI which lets the users create stickers and share image files, Apple soon to bring iMessage which will bring huge impact in the markets. Several of the apps that were demonstrated during the WWDC 2016 keynote are here, such as Square Cash, OpenTable, and JibJab.

Some of the apps are standalone iMessage apps, while others are extensions of already existing apps in the main App Store. If you didn’t sign up, you can check out the new iMessage app and the other new updates available on iOS 10 when it goes live tomorrow.

The updated iMessage app will be available with iOS 10.

Sticker packs can work in a similar manner.

Cryptocurrency exchange service ShapeShift AG has disappeared from Apple’s App Store with some suggesting the removal may be due to Apple restricting what sort of cryptocurrencies apps in the store are allowed to support. Now simply tap on the ‘+’ icon and you’ll be taken straight to the Messages App Store, all ready to download to your heart’s content. This distinction will be clearly stated on each app’s page.

Each sticker pack is available for $1.99, and despite the price, I can see these becoming ridiculously popular in very short order. Most, if not all, of the Disney packs are animated, and include a nice handful of stickers to choose from.
