iMessage is needed to send message effects. And if you did not know, there is a difference between iMessage and SMS/MMS texts. Depending on your network, messaging charges might apply when you send a text message or MMS. If you are an iMessage user and Wi-Fi is not available, cellular data rates might apply.
With message effects, it is possible to use bubble effects to alter the way your text bubbles appear or use complete-screen effects to animate the display. A Memoji sticker can also be added alongside bubble effects or full-screen effects.
iMessage lets you reply SMSes without even saying one word. An iPhone feature named Tapback allows you to select from a list of reactions like heart (love), thumbs up (like), thumbs down (dislike), “haha” (laugh), exclamation (emphasized), or question mark (questioning).
The Tapback effect is well known among people with large group chats. To know who reacted to a text in a group chat, simply click on the message itself. See How To Like A Text Message On iPhone Using Tapback:
