Over the years the iPhone's Messages app has evolved from a relatively simple messaging program to a sophisticated tool complete with special effects.
A lot of this is softcore moviesdue to iMessage, Apple's proprietary messaging platform (a term many iPhone users erroneously apply to the Messages app itself). We're taking a look at how you can use the special effects in Messages, which go way beyond simple SMS and MMS communication. Since the release of iOS 10, iPhone users have been able to spice up their texting with handwritten doodles, shooting star animations and a lot more.

You can send handwritten notes or hand-drawn doodles in Messages. This fun feature can be found in the Messages app by turning your iPhone into landscape mode. When the keyboard comes up, look for the squiggle icon at the bottom right of the screen.

Something that also came to Messages in iOS 10 is the Apple Watch's "Digital Touch" -- the ability to send sketches, your heartbeat or fun animations like kisses and fireballs.
To send someone a Digital Touch message, when in a conversation look for the heart with two fingers icon next to the text box. If you only see an arrow, tap this first to bring up the other options.

Kiss - tap the screen using two fingers.
Broken heart - touch and hold the screen with two fingers, then swipe down.
In order to make your messages more "expressive," you can add some special message effects.
Once you've typed your message, press and hold the arrow to the right of the text box. The "bubble effects" options will then load.

You can also send an "invisible ink" message where the image or text is obscured until the recipient touches their screen.

In your iPhone Settings, there's an option for turning the auto-play of the effects on and off. Just go to Settings>General>Accessibility>Reduce Motion. Toggle it on, and a second toggle will appear, one that will still let you see all the iMessage effects. Turn that one off, and you're back to normal texting (more or less).
