With macOS Sierra, iMessaging has become more fun-loving than ever before. Messages app for iOS 10 may still be ahead thanks to several smart features, but its counterpart for macOS is not too far behind.
Being fond of iMessaging like never before, I keep my friends and loved ones entertained with cool messages. Features like the ability to customize notifications, change the download locations for the received files make the Messages app very user-friendly.
Skype uses the general system startup Settings instead of having separate preferences for the app. If you wish to stop Skype from starting automatically on your Mac, we have listed two simple methods. How to Disable Skype Auto Start on Mac. Launch Skype on your Mac → Go to the Dock.
To keep things spiced up, I change the message received sound every now and then. Luckily, there are many exciting options to choose from. What about customizing the sound of the message you receive? Let’s find out!
Step #1. Open Messages app on your Mac.
Step #2. Next, you need to click on Messages in the top navigation Menu → Click on Preferences.
Step #3. Click on the drop down menu which is next to Message received sound.
The list of tone options will open.
Step #4. Finally, you need to click on your preferred notification sound.

I wish the Messages for macOS Sierra would be as feature-rich as that of iOS. But, it’s still got enough to reinvigorate iMessaging experience.
The latest macOS has been able to hit a perfect chord with users. Features like Siri and Auto Unlock have found a lot of traction among Mac users.
