OK, here’s the answer to turning off “Smart Replies” in Messages on macOS, courtesy of the ever-wonderful Ricky Mondello (who you should follow; I won’t @ them here because I don’t want to spam them as their post about this was followers-only):

System Settings > Keyboard > Text Input > Input Sources (Edit) > Show suggested replies

This appears to be a new setting 👏

Volla, ein deutsche Hersteller von Smartphones, hat die öffentl. Beta-Version seines neuen Messengers „Volla Messages“ veröffentlicht. Die App ist u.a. für Android, Windows, Linux verfügbar. Die digitale Kommunikation erfolgt dezentral, sicher und unabhängig von klassischen Server-Infrastrukturen. Hat jemand von euch Erfahrungen mit den Produkten von Volla? Würde mich sehr interessieren, ob sie halten, was sie versprechen?

You know what someone needs to make? An app on #Windows that syncs into the #Mac #Messages app itself (not icloud), so you can send and receive iPhone messages from a Windows PC. The Phone Link app doesn't work worth a damn. And you can't hook into msgs via icloud.com either which is doubly weird. I'm so used to send/rcv messages via the Mac that not having the feature on Windows is.. OH NO whatta meesa turning into?! 😦

There needs to be a specific option to turn off these “Smart Replies” in Messages. Every single one of them so far has been terrible – out of context, missing the point, etc.

I’d love to see the reactions from friends and family if I used any one of the suggested replies. They would be very confused/offended.

Also, if you ask Siri how to turn them off, it gives you an incorrect answer about turning off message summaries.

The Smart Reply feature of Messages on macOS 15.3 showing suggested replies of “That’s rough!” and “Oh no!”, both of which were inappropriate replies to the conversation.
A screenshot of Siri on macOS 15.3 after asking it how to turn off Smart Replies in the Messages app. Siri gives the following answer: Here's how to turn off Smart Reply in Messages: 1. Open the Messages app on your Mac. 2. Click Messages in the menu bar, then choose Settings. 3. Click General, then deselect "Summarise messages." An indicator at the bottom of the Siri window says this answer was sourced from the Mac User Guide, however the answer is incorrect because turning off the “Summarise messages” option does not turn off the Smart Reply feature.

48 Hours to tell Ofcom: Practice safe #text

#Ofcom currently running consultation for implementing ‘Spy Clause’ of Online Safety Act

This Ofcom the power to issue notice to a provider, requiring them to use specific technology to scan everyone’s #messages

Problem: No safe scanning technology exists

The imagined solutions could create huge #cybersecurity risks for UK & allies.

Open Rights Group48 Hours to tell Ofcom: 'Practice safe text'The vital cybersecurity tool of end-to-end encryption is under threat. Here's why: Ofcom are currently running a consultation on their framework for implementing the 'Spy Clause' section 121 of the Online Safety Act. This clause gives Ofcom the power to issue a technical notice to a provider, and require them to use a specific technology to scan everyone's messages for terrorist material or child sexual exploitation materials (CSEM). This consultation closes at 5pm on Monday 10th March. The problem is there is no safe scanning technology that exists.

There are only a few people that I need to regularly text message that haven't moved to Signal - I'm hoping at some point I can persuade them on there.

In the meantime, I've installed Textra to replace Google's Messages app. I'm not bothered about security with this one - it's only SMS.
