Hi, I find the send button is now easier to find, when exploring
by touch.

A Guide to iMessage in iOS 10 Recently updated !
This entry was posted by Jessica
Apple crammed loads of new features into iMessage in iOS 10,
which add a lot of additional functionality, making the app more
fun and social. However, learning what all the new features are
and how they work may be difficult for some users. We hope this
post will help you understand the new features, and have you
using them (or avoiding them) like a pro within minutes.
Look and Feel
First of all, the look of iMessage is a little bit different.
You now have photos of contacts at the top of each conversation
thread. This is true for individual iMessage conversations, and
for groups. The back button is still at the top, and the "more
info" button is at the top right. At the bottom of the screen,
the "Send" button and text field have been made smaller to make
room for three buttons. Note: Although the send button still
functions as it always has, it is smaller in size, and it is now
an up arrow instead of the word send. This means it is a bit
harder to find for VoiceOver users, and may confuse some low
vision users. The three buttons to the left of the text field
are: "Attach Media, Digital Touch, and Messaging apps.
More Info Screen
The "more info" button, which replaces iOS 9's "details"
button will take you to a screen that is similar in some ways,
but there are some things to note. On this screen, you can now
toggle read receipts for individual conversations, and you can
sort attachments if you are looking for a particular image or
link. As always, this is also where you can see the location of
people in a group or conversation, contact a person you are
talking to, add someone to your contacts, add a contact to the
conversation, and rename the conversation. To return to the
iMessage conversation, simply tap "Done" in the top right-hand
corner.
Media Attachments
Attaching photos and videos is now done with the "attach
media" button at the bottom of any iMessage thread. 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. Once you
have chosen an image or video, you can add effects, draw, and
more.
Digital Touch
The second button is a "Digital Touch" button. 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. This is also
where you can copy a message, or tap more to forward or delete
it. If you are using VoiceOver, rotate to "Actions" in the
rotor and flick down to "react." Double tap, and you will be
presented with the same screen described above.
Emoji Substitutions
Once you've entered text in the iMessage field, you can easily
replace words with emoji, and there are even emoji in the text
predictions bar above the keyboard. 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. If there is only one emoji suggested, it will
automatically be inserted for you when you tap on a word..
iMessage Effects
Lastly, you can send any message with an effect. This includes
"bubble effects" that change how the message itself appears,
and "screen effects" that include full screen animations.
Note: If you have "Reduce Motion" turned on in accessibility
settings, you cannot use iMessage Effects.
To Use Bubble Effects:
Type your message.
3D Touch or tap and hold (double tap and hold for VoiceOver
users) on the send button.
Select "Bubble" at the top of this screen.
On the right-hand side, choose the button next to the effect
you wish to use. The options are: Invisible Ink, Gentle, Loud,
or Slam. You can also cancel the effect if you change your mind.
Tap the send button next to the effect you chose.
To use full screen effects:
Type your message.
3D touch or tap and hold (double tap and hold for VoiceOver
users) on the send button.
Choose "Screen at the top of this screen.
Swipe from right to left (three-finger flick for VoiceOver
users) to choose the effect you want. You can choose between
Balloons, Confetti, Lasers, Fireworks, or Shooting Star.
Tap the send button next to your message, or the close
button if you change your mind.
.and that's it! That's how you use iMessage in iOS 10! We
know it is a lot to take in, so feel free to refer to this post
whenever you need to, or reach out to us on twitter
@iAccessibility1 for assistance. Please share this post to help
others.

Hi!
Just to eliminate some doubts.
I have 6S Plus with 3D Touch enabled and I'm not able to send
effects.
Friend of mine has an oldie 5S and she is doing it. She tried
to explain the procedure but I can't reproduce it. Can someone
from here who is able to do this explain the procedure step by
step?
Thanks!

Yep. Hmm, wonder if restarting the phone will help? Writing
this on my laptop right now, will check and see if that works
later. Just an idea though. I have a regular 6. I know it
should work, as it worked during the beta.

Hi.
All messages sent to these contacts are iMessages. I've double

Hi,
Even if you label their cell numbers in your contacts app as
being an
iPhone, that is not what the phone uses to determine if the
recipient of
your text has an iPhone. I believe someone on the list said
something
that the phone will just know based off of the telephone number.
It also depends on whether or not the person has turned on
iMessage in
the settings and whether or not they've setup their cell number
to
receive iMessages. I have a friend who has a iPhone and when I
send him
a message, it is a text message and not an iMessage. I found
the
easiest way to know is to, either compose a new message to the
person,
or if you have an existing conversation, open it, and when you
double
tap on the edit box at the bottom to type your message,
VoiceOver will
say whether it is a text message or iMessage.
Hope this helps!

For it to work, the sender must show the recipient's mobile

as being an Iphone number, not a mobile number; that's what
allows the
Iphone to try and use Imessage.

Does this work on iPhone 5s? Or does it have to be a six or 6+?
I
cannot get it to work at all. Thanks

You can only add effects to iMessages. I know, sucky for those
who
don't have iMessage, or all of us who have friends who just
happen to
not be on Apple devices, but yeah. I can't figure out how to
emojify
words and such, emoji replacements for words in messages where
words can
be replaced by an emoji.

Hi all.
I can't figure this out for the life of me! Lol. I'm trying to

effect to a text message, but when I force
