"The Calculator app on your iPhone (and iPad) is capable of a host of numeric maneuvers. Beyond performing basic and complex calculations, it can handle complicated scientific equations and convert numbers from one format to another. But there's another built-in program that's no slouch when it comes to tackling calculations and conversions, and that's the Messages app. With Apple Messages, you can type an equation in the regular text field, and the autofill option will complete it with the correct answer or response."
"Why use the Messages app as a calculator when the actual Calculator is the go-to tool? Maybe you need to split a dinner bill or send the tip amount to a fellow diner, and want to do it privately. Perhaps you need to show someone a specific conversion, such as kilometers to miles or centimeters to inches. Typically, you'd have to run the calculation in the Calculator app, then copy and paste it into a text message."
Apple Messages can evaluate typed equations and provide autofill answers directly in message fields. The app supports basic arithmetic, multiplication, division, and advanced trigonometric functions including sine, cosine, and tangent. The app also converts units such as Celsius to Fahrenheit, kilometers to miles, and feet to inches. Using Messages can streamline workflows like splitting a dinner bill or privately sending a tip amount without switching apps. Messages saves steps by avoiding copy-and-paste from the Calculator app. Messages cannot perform currency conversions and remains less capable than the Calculator app, but it functions well as a backup calculator and quick converter.
