People are just noticing amazing iPhone hack that anyone with iMessage should try

YOUR iPhone has special iMessage codes that you can type to unlock hidden features.

Even if you’ve had an iPhone for years, you may have missed these.

iMessage has loads of advantages, but one little-known perk is the selection of secret effect codes.

Apple tucked them away as Easter eggs, but they’re a seriously cool iPhone hack that you should definitely try out.

For instance, try opening an iMessage chat and typing “Pew Pew”.

You’ll find that the screen is filled with lasers – for both you AND the recipient.

There are some other codes you can try too.

Sending the message “Congrats” causes confetti to rain down.

And the same works if you write “congratulations” in a different language too.

Typing “Happy Birthday” will trigger balloons to float across the screen.

And then there’s “Happy Chinese New Year”, which unleashes virtual fireworks on iMessage.

One more thing…

That’s not the only iMessage trick that you need to know about.

After you’ve typed out a message, you can tap and hold the blue send button to attach any of the following.

Eco – Fills the screen with message bubblesSpotlight – Puts a spotlight on your messageBalloons – Balloons rise up from the bottom of your screenConfetti – Confetti rains downLove – Large heart bulges from your messageLasers – Laser light showFireworks – Fireworks explode on your screenShooting star –  A shooting star fires across the screenCelebration – A red firework show appears

Remember: None of these effects will show unless the recipient also has an iPhone.

And these effects are limited to iMessage only – so they won’t work on WhatsApp, Signal or Facebook Messenger.
