Tap and hold on a message to select it first and then again tap and hold to select your part of the message. That’s ingenious, right?

It is rather self-explanatory: you can message friends freely when you know they are attending an important meeting, studying, or sleeping. Recipients will get a notification as usual, but their device won’t make sound, even if it is in general mode.
