How to iMessage Fireworks
For iMessage effects to work, you must be texting someone who is also on an iPhone. How do you know? If your iPhone text bubble is blue, you are good to go. If it is green, it means your recipient is on an Android device (or you have iMessage turned off) and it will not work. For more fun tips, consider signing up for our free Tip of the Day Newsletter. Now, here's how to add effects to text messages:
* Open the Messages app.
* Start a new message or tap an existing conversation.
* If you're starting a new message, enter the name of at least one recipient.
* If you are messaging another iPhone user it will say New iMessage at the top of the screen, which confirms that the recipient will be able to see your screen effects. (If you selected an existing conversation, you should be able to tell if the effects will work based on the color of the bubbles in the conversation—blue for iMessage, green for SMS.)
* Write your text message as usual.
* Instead of tapping the blue arrow to send the message, long press the arrow for at least a second.
* A new Send with effect screen will pop up.
* Select Screen at the top of the page.
* Swipe from the right side of the screen to the left to scroll through the different screen effects until you get to the fireworks option.
* Tap the blue arrow button to send.
As you can see, fireworks are just one of the fun options. There are currently eight special effects you can choose from. The steps are the same to use each one, so play around and have fun with it!
