iPhone users can now animate their messages on the iMessage app with a bubble effect on a single message or the entire message screen. Other texting apps like WhatsApp, Instagram, and Telegram among others have similar applications. A message can be sent personally with invisible ink such that the message is blurred until the recipient swipes to reveal the message sent. iMessages also enables users to send and receive messages in message effects.
For Apple, iMessage allows users to text, and send photos or videos to another iPhone, iPad, iPod, or Mac using Wi-Fi or a mobile data network. These messages are well-encrypted and will appear in blue text bubbles.
To turn iMessages on or off: go to Settings > Messages. Messages can be sent in a handwritten effect, bubble effect, and many more.
