For employees, this means that apps they use privately could become visible to their employer's IT department without their knowledge or consent.

We all need more control over how Messages notifies us about goings on in our individual chats and group threads. First off, it would be great if I could specify that I wanted to be notified when new messages appeared in a chat, but not when a new tapback reaction arrived. The reaction multiplier in active chats is just too much for me to bear sometimes.
Managing notifications should also be smarter. I’d like to be able to mute notifications for a chat for some time, so I can get back to work and catch up on the chat later.
