Laser Massage Comb
Did you know you can add some pretty cool background effects to the messages you send from your iPhone? They’re lots of fun and easy to add – they’re just a tiny bit hidden (honestly it’s not very intuitive at all, which is why this tutorial exists). Here goes –
- Open Messages the same way you always do.
- Compose a message, the same way you always do…
- but this time instead of just tapping the Send icon, tap it and hold your finger down
- A new screen titled Send with effect will appear. This is where the magic happens. You can explore all of these options later – for now we want to add our laser background – so tap the Screen tab.
- Now swipe through the various background effects you can add to your text messages.
- When you’ve decided on a background, tap the Send icon.
- Ta-da! Your friends will be mesmerized! (or really quite annoyed) :)
