Apple has officially launched its new iMessage App Store ahead of the release of iOS 10.
The company notes that bringing the App Store to Messages opens up opportunities for developers to create fun new ways for users to communicate in a thread, including stickers to be peeled and pasted into conversations, the ability to quickly personalize GIFs or edit photos, send payments or schedule dinner or a movie, all from within Messages.
Despite iOS 10 not having launched yet, there is actually quite a few apps and stickers packs available to download.
You'll need iOS 10 to access the iMessage App Store. Please follow iClarified on Twitter, Facebook, or RSS to be notified of its release tomorrow.

iMessage App Store? First thought I misread this, but if you look closely this is rather ingenious. We are now at a point where money is seemingly that easy to come by, that people are willed to spend it on virtual stickers.
Apple go on, milk those sheep!
... waiting for a App Store in System Preferences, come on Apple how long must I wait?
