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 –

  1. Open Messages the same way you always do.
  2. Compose a message, the same way you always do…
  3. but this time instead of just tapping the Send icon, tap it and hold your finger down
  4. 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.
  5. Now swipe through the various background effects you can add to your text messages.
  6. When you’ve decided on a background, tap the Send icon.
  7. Ta-da! Your friends will be mesmerized! (or really quite annoyed) :)
