Millions of people don’t know much about iMessage with effects because the company pre-settings disable it. Apple does not want the consumers to experience slowing down smartphone performance, so they disabled effects. The consumers can send effects in iMessage without downloading or installing third-party applications.
Anyone can send effects on iMessage from an iPhone to another iPhone. The graphics might not support cross-platform such as emojis. iMessage is a unique texting platform introduced by Apple, which is a different kind of application compared to other solutions in the market.
Apple improved iMessage even further by adding Animoji in iPhone X, iPad Pro, iPhone XR, and iPhone X Max. Animoji is part of the effects, and the entire effects make the texting service unique and appealing.
