Did you know you can now format text in iMessages? Watch this video to learn how to use text effects and formatting in iMessage on your iPhone. #imessage #ios18 To use text effects on iPhone, your device must be updated to iOS 18 or newer. Then open the Messages app and open an existing conversation, or start a new one. Type out what you’d like your message to say. Now, select all the text in your typed message, or just a portion of the message you want to apply formatting or an effect to. Then you can tap the text effect icon in the predictive text bar, or select text effects in the pop-up window. In the text effects menu, you can format text to be bold, italic, underlined, or strikethrough. You can also apply fun effects like explode, shake, nod, and ripple. These effects work on both text and emojis. You can apply different formatting and effects to different portions of the same message if you wish, but you cannot apply more than one effect to the same word or emoji at a time. When you’re finished applying effects and text formatting, go ahead and send your message as normal. You can also apply text effects when editing a message after sending. For your friend to be able to see the effects, their device must also be updated to iOS 18. Visit http://www.techlifeunity.com for over 1000 free guides on all of today's most popular websites & apps!
