How can I send text message without effects?
iPhone 6s
When you send a message just tap on the up arrow and not hold down on it, that activates the effects.
When you send a message just tap on the up arrow and not hold down on it, that activates the effects.
What do you mean, you tap the green or blue up arrow to send the message without the effects, if you hold down on it, it open the send with effects.
I posted the same problem in September. Unfortunately I don't remember the details of my fix - but it involved changes to Set-up > Messages. Isn't it frustrating when people offer answers which describe how it is supposed to work rather than giving you settings describing how to get your device to work? Sorry about that.
Just tapping gets nothing
Can’t send messages. It insists on effects and recipient is not on an iOS device. I don’t have iMessage activated.
I just started having the same issue (IOS 13.2). I cannot send a msg by just tapping the green arrow...nothing happens. If I press & hold the arrow, Send with Effects pops up...which I DO NOT WANT.
Why hasn't Apple Support responded to this month old issue posting?
How do I disable ALL text effects for outgoing texts on iOS 13?
Since the update, I can't text half the time, because pressing the send arrow, whether holding down on it or tapping it, takes me to the bubble/screen "send with effect" screen, and no matter what I select, it goes back to the text dialogue, and again, if I try to send, I'm back at the bubble/screen "send with effect" dialogue.
I just want to text, without the hassle of these effect options! Help me turn it all off!!!
For iOS 13 try Settings, Accessibility, Motion, and toggle off both "Reduce Motion" and "Auto-Play Message
Effects."
