Hey what's up guys Zain here so iMessage has been around since 2011 in today's video we're
gonna go over some tips, tricks, and features you may not be aware of from
screen effects to handwritten text to an emoji and we'll also explore hidden iMessage features such
as tracking your flights and as for the coffee today we're heading to Bali Indonesia here goes
alright so i am excited and let's get started to send a message with full screen effects here's how
type your message and then touch and hold the blue send button
here we can use the bubble effects like slam loud or the others
or we can tap on screen to see full screen effects
then swipe left for more effects you can send it with balloons confetti love laser fireworks
or celebration once you pick one just hit the
blue send button let's see how it looks when they receive a message
you can also send effects on any photos or emojis as well it will give your text a little more
pizzazz let's try that so first select any text or photo so in my case I'll just use an emoji sticker
tap and hold the blue send button select the effect that you want and hit send boom pretty cool
what's more is that iMessage automatically applies these effects to certain words or phrases
like happy birthday or congratulations so let's see what happens when i type congratulations
let's try one more this time I'll write pew pew
with tap back you can quickly reply to text or expressions
like thumbs up or a heart just double tap a message bubble or a photo
and then select the tab back you want so for example if i double tap this message
i can select any of the expressions from here so in my case I'll select thumbs up same goes to
replying to text for example in a group message so let's go to a group message that i have
double tap the text bubble and select reply this takes you into a more focused view of the thread
type your message and hit the blue send button
to go back to full screen tap anywhere outside the text bubbles
here's another nifty little one need to get someone's attention in a group chat
just type in their name tap it and then tap their contact card to confirm when you mention someone
their name will be highlighted and they will receive a notification by default if you're part
of a group that has too much activity or you want to mute message alerts from a contact simply swipe
left over the conversation and then tap the alerts but the alert icon will appear next to
the conversation to unmute follow the same steps again and the alert icon disappears
another cool feature is that you can personalize your text by adding a note in your own handwriting
this option appears when you turn your phone sideways tap that button and write your message
if you need to start over just tap the undo or clear press send when you're ready and
your message will be shown animated as if it were being written in front of them so we use
emojis all the time but did you know that you can attach the stickers to messages and photos too
in a conversation tap the emoji stickers button choose your emoji then touch and hold the sticker
and then drag it to attach it it sends when you lift your finger to remove it tap and hold the
sticker and then select sticker details swipe left and tap on the delete button and it's gone
so let's say you have a group of people that you chat with the most you can in
those conversations to the top just swipe right on the conversation and then tap the pin button
you can pin up to nine conversations at the top of the app
to unpin simply long press the conversation and then select unpin while you're in your messages
