Use message effects with iMessage on your iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch

Make your iMessages even more expressive with bubble effects, full-screen animations, camera effects, and more.


You need iMessage to send message effects. If you aren't sure whether you're using iMessage or SMS/MMS texts, learn the difference. Depending on your carrier, messaging rates might apply when you send SMS/MMS. If you use iMessage and Wi-Fi is unavailable, cellular data rates might apply.


Send a message with effects

With message effects, you can use bubble effects to change the way your message bubbles look. You can also use full-screen effects to animate the screen when you send a message.

  3. Tap  to preview bubble effects.
  4. Tap  to send.

To replay a message effect that you receive, tap  under the message. If you can't receive bubble effects, check your Reduce Motion settings.


Add a full-screen effect

With full-screen effects, you can animate your screen with an echo, spotlight, and other effects. Follow these steps:
