The E-Mail Must Get Through - iPad Mini - page 143

You can see within iMessages when your own message has been delivered and
read, and when the other person is readying a response.
Use a Bluetooth keyboard for typing instead of the onscreen keyboard. Follow the in-
structions in Chapter 15 to pair your Bluetooth keyboard with your iPad. (The Apple Wireless
Keyboard [$69] works with the iPad mini and iPhones. Find out more in Chapter 17 . )
Dictate a message. Tap the microphone key on your keyboard and start talking. Tap the mi-
crophone key again when you're done.
Open a URL included in an iMessage. Tap it to open that web page in Safari.
Send an e-mail to an address included in an iMessage. Tap it to open a preaddressed e-mail
message in Mail.
See an included street message in an iMessage. Tap it to see it on a map in Maps.
Choose how you can be reached via iMessage. Tap Settings ⇒ Messages ⇒ Send & Receive.
From there you can add another e-mail address or remove any addresses that are already
present.
Show the Subject field. Flip the switch to show a subject field with your messages.
Block a sender. If someone is harassing you or has left your good graces, you can block him
or her. Choose Settings ⇒ Messages ⇒ Blocked and pick a name from your Contacts. You will
no longer receive messages or FaceTime calls from this person.
And that's all there is to it. You are now an official iMessage maven.
