One of the coolest features of the iPhone iOS 10 operating system is the ability to send iMessages with special effects such as Lasers and Fireworks, Balloons and more!. All you need is an iPhone 5,6, or 7. I’m using an iPhone 5 in this demo.
If you don’t have the latest iOS 10 operating system just to go settings, general, software update to update your phone.
Here’s how to send these cool messages.
Go to ‘messages’
Type your message e.g. ‘Hey...'
Press and hold down the blue arrow. Then click on screen and scroll through for the effect you want. You can select from balloons, confetti, hearts, lasers, fireworks, shooting star, and celebration.
Happy texting!
