Reactions, typing, and formatting

Use Wisent extensions for tapbacks, typing indicators, expressive effects, and decorated text where the backend supports them.

Reactions, typing, and formatting — contract and behavior

  • POST /v3/chats/{chat_id}/reactions adds or removes supported iMessage tapbacks against a target message.
  • Typing and rich-text support depend on the chosen backend; AppleScript-only mac-relay cannot drive every private Messages feature.
  • The private-API helper exposes selected IMCore capabilities through a structured loopback protocol.
  • Feature absence is reported as a backend capability result rather than silently degrading formatted content.

Stay in the loop. Never miss out.
