Copy clean into iMessage: ask for a plain-text code block
Formatted replies turn into a mess of stars and dashes when pasted into iMessage.
What hurt
cbgrok (@cbgrok) shared an iPhone tip: copying a formatted bot reply into iMessage mangles the bold, bullets, and links. Fix: ask your bot to put anything you want to share in a plain-text code block, then copy that block. Better, tell it to remember so it does this automatically. Not affiliated with xAI.
What to install or create
A code block is plain text with a copy button. Make it a remembered preference.
Bots
No new bot. Follow the first-run steps.
Plugins
None on day one. Follow the first-run steps.
