You may have heard of Message Effects, the fun animations you can add to any text sent through the Messages app by pressing and holding the blue send button. Below are the secret code words you can type to automatically trigger iPhone text effects.
On your iPhone, open the Messages app.
Choose any one of the code words below and send your message. You will see the effect produced immediately:
‘Pew pew’ – laser light show
‘Happy birthday’ – balloons
‘Congratulations’ – confetti
‘Happy New Year’ – fireworks
‘Happy Chinese New Year’ – red explosion
‘Selamat’ – confetti
And that’s all there is to it!
