At the bottom of > the screen, the “Send” button and text field have been made smaller to make > room for three buttons.

Tapping on this button will bring you to a > screen containing your photos and videos, and allow you to take a new photo > or video.

Here you can send a heart > beat, or a quick doodle to a friend. It does seem accessible if you would > like to try it out. Additionally, if you would like to handwrite a message, > to make it more personal, you can do so by switching to landscape in your > iMessage thread. Note for VoiceOver users: there are some text snippets > available, which you can easily add to any conversation. > iMessage Apps > > The third button to the left of the text field is “Messaging apps..” We will > have more about this section in the future, but here you will find anything > from stickers, to games, to collaboration tools, and much more. Some > interesting examples of iMessage apps include an app that allows you to > collaborate on a food order with friends, and an app that allows you to > quickly and securely send money. It will be very exciting to see what > developers do with iMessage apps in the future. > Reactions > > Most of the time, you will want to quickly send a message to someone, and > that still works as it always has. In fact, if you are really in a hurry, but > want to let someone know you received their message, you can do so with > iMessage reactions. Simply tap and hold on a message, and you will be given > the option to Love, Like, Dislike, Laugh, emphasize, or Question it.

To replace words with emoji after you’ve entered text, tap on the > “Next Keyboard” button until you find the emoji keyboard. Now, any words that > can be replaced with emoji will be highlighted. If you tap on a word, you > will then have options to choose from. For VoiceOver users, tap on the text > field. VoiceOver should say “Emoji substitutions available.” Rotate to > “Emoji” in the rotor, and flick down until you find the word you want to > replace. Double tap, and you will be presented with the options available for > emoji replacement.
