# iMessage Integration

Seamlessly sync your iMessage activity to keep contacts, names, and last interaction dates always up to date—without lifting a finger.

**Category:** Communications

**Service:** apple.com/messages

## What it does

- Sync your sent and received iMessage to keep timelines updated in Dex.
- Update your iMessage activity in Dex every hour.
- Automatically create and maintain a dedicated group in Dex for synced iMessage contacts.
- Detect duplicate contacts by name to avoid clutter.

## Overview

The iMessage integration seamlessly syncs your messaging activity, capturing both iMessage and SMS exchanges to keep contact timelines current. After installing a lightweight background utility through the Sync & Integrations settings, Dex automatically syncs messages every hour when your computer is online. To maintain privacy, only the most recent message and basic metadata are stored locally on your device—full message histories remain exclusively on your computer. Note: This feature is currently in beta.
