The iMessage effect has been around for a long time on the iPhone and iPad. With macOS Big Sur, you can now also enjoy these same options on your Mac. In this way, you can use screen effects (such as balloons, invisible ink, confetti, fireworks, etc.) to convey text. Without further ado, let me show you how to send messages with effects on macOS Big Sur Mac.
What types of message effects can you send on Mac
On iOS and iPadOS, the effect is divided into two titles-Bubble and Screen. However, on the Mac, they are listed horizontally together. This is the name of all effects including love, balloon, invisible ink, confetti, slam, laser, loud, celebration, echo, spotlight, fireworks, and gentle.
Automatically trigger iMessage effects on Mac
When you type certain phrases, such as "Pew Pew", "Congratulations", "Congratulations", "Happy Birthday" and "Happy New Year", the "Messages" application will automatically use the corresponding effects. So next time you want to send a congratulatory message, just enter these phrases and send it. The app will automatically add appropriate effects to make the conversation more interesting.
Manually send iMessage with different effects
At any time you want to improve the atmosphere of the message, you can manually select from various predefined animation effects.
1. Launch the Messages application on the Mac.
2. Select an existing conversation or start a new conversation.
3...Next, type a good message to send to your friends. Then, click the App Store icon to the left of the iMessage text field.
4...Next, select "Message Effect" on the menu.
5. According to the theme or mood of the message, select the desired effect from a variety of options, including balloons, confetti, fireworks, love and so on.
In case you are willing to send a very special message with privacy rights, please select "invisible link effect". With invisible ink, your iMessage will remain blurry until the recipient clicks it to show it.
6. After selecting the preferred effect, click the arrow to send an iMessage with that effect.
