Q: Using of effects like sending balloons with iMessage fails

Hi folks,

when using iMessage on iOS 10 it now has some great new effects like balloons. I failed to send and even receive them for weeks. If a friend just wrote me a test message containing an effect like balloons or even laser, I just got a little description text in brackets but no effects. I wasn't able to send those effects neither.

 

But yesterday I found the soloution. I had reduced the movement of the background, called parallax effect. This options also turns off the functionality for sending and receiving iMessage effects. I had turned this on with iOS 9 since I read some articles about improving battery life...

 

Also it feels like my I phone 6 plus get's even faster with the efects turned on.

 

(You will get the effect menue when you've already typed in some letters and then press and hold the send arrow at the end of the line)

 

 

Greets!

iPhone 6 Plus, iOS 10, keyboard
