A verified brand in the Messages app.
Authentication and approval inside a conversation that carries your registered business identity — in the app iPhone customers already use.
Can Apple Messages for Business be used for authentication?
Yes. An Apple-approved business can run a verified conversation in the native Messages app and use it to confirm a sign-in, verify an identity or approve a specific action with structured prompts instead of a typed code. Assure's support for the channel is in development and not available yet.
More than a code delivery route.
Each of these is a capability of the Apple platform. Assure's use of them is in development and not available yet.
Verified business identity
The conversation carries your brand name and logo in the native Messages app, so the customer can see who is asking before they act.
Authentication flows
A sign-in or verification request the customer completes inside the thread instead of copying a code between apps.
Rich, structured messages
List pickers, time pickers, forms and buttons, so an approval is a tap rather than free text.
Secure customer conversations
Account-related requests stay in one identifiable thread the customer can scroll back through.
Apple Pay
Where a business supports it, payment can be completed in the conversation rather than sending the customer elsewhere.
Wallet and passes
Deliver a pass or credential into Wallet as part of a flow the customer has already been authenticated for.
App Clips
Hand off to a lightweight piece of your app without an install, where Apple supports it.
Human escalation
Move from an automated request to a person with the context of the conversation intact.
Enterprise messaging integration
Route conversations into the systems your service teams already work in, including Service Cloud style contact-centre tooling.
What has to be true first.
Apple approval is required
A business must be registered and approved for Apple Messages for Business before any conversation can happen. Approval is Apple's decision, not ours.
iPhone and iPad only
The experience exists in Apple's Messages app. Customers on other platforms need a different channel, and Assure is designed to fall back automatically.
Entry points matter
Customers reach these conversations through defined entry points — your site, your app, a search result, a scanned code. They are not opened by sending an unsolicited message.
Assure claims no Apple partnership, endorsement or certification.
Frequently asked.
Verified conversations, not anonymous codes.
Authentication for today. Authorization for what's next.
