If you know the iMessage app or you are fairly familiar with how it works on iOS and Mac, you will know that when we have the application open and we are in a chat talking with one or more people, when one of those people starts writing inside the chat a animated globe with three dots that it doesn't mean anything other than that particular person is writing something right at that moment.
However, if we do not have iMessage open, we cannot see if the person has started to write again or has left the chat, so we must be aware if we want to know this fact at all times until now, the TypeStatus project Through Github he has managed to see who is writing in the chat in real time from the menu bar.
Let's see how it is installed and how it works. The first thing to do is go to the specific page through this link and download the program from the link »For your Mac», once we have the .DMG image we will open it and we will see some small instructions on how to install it in a very simple way, they specify that we must first download the EasySIMBL program from this link, which will install the plugin in the menu bar.
Once we execute it we will simply have to drag the TypeStatus.bundle extension to the program and later restart iMessage. When you open iMessage again, a welcome message to this new functionality will appear and from that moment on we will be able to see who writes to us in real time at all times.
Personally, this application has seemed like a good detail, if not essential, if quite useful as well as totally free, a point in its favor.
