Handwritten messages are buggy / crash messages app

[thefowles1]

^ handwritten messages send dark on dark, hard to read

^ handwritten messages receive on white backdrop; immediately crashed messages app after finished writing

^ handwritten message duplicated and animated the second time, changed all messages to white backdrop

For comparison, here's how it appears natively on the Apple Watch:

Version 1.1.2, these bugs still exist.

Seems to be working for me (tested on 1.1.3 beta 4).

I was able to see the screenshot in the email I received for your reply this thread. It would appear you are thinking of digital touch (what used to only be available on the Apple Watch), not a handwritten message. I'm speaking of when you turn your phone sideways in a conversation and write out a message with your finger that plays back the writing process to the recipient. See the GIF below for what I mean.

This is with 1.1.3 beta 4. The message app no longer crashes/duplicates, but some issues still persist; it still is hard to see when sent, and it receives on a white backdrop.

You're right! Can you tell I never use the handwriting feature ;)

Thanks for clearing that up, I'll see if it's something I can fix.
