# API Notes: InstantMessage framework

This framework was deprecated by Apple and documentation is no longer available on Apple’s developer website.

These bindings are accessed through the `InstantMessage` package (that is, `import InstantMessage`).

## API Notes

All API’s in the InstantMessage framework are wrapped by PyObjC.

The InstantMessage framework is deprecated in macOS 10.9, use the Social framework instead (which is new in macOS 10.9)
