Your iPhone 13 can do many wonders that you haven't yet discovered for a while. Somehow, it's not only limited to certain emojis, but you can also send some screen effects to your buddies through an iMessage.

As such, there are a lot of choices to choose from, including balloons, birthday confetti, and more. To trigger them, there must be particular codewords that you should type to activate each of them.

To jump right away on this topic, here's an article that will help you send these special effects to every person online.

Sending Screen Effects Through iMessage

If you want to celebrate your best friend's birthday virtually, you can engage in video calls. Sometimes, simple group chats work, and you can greet them right away using gifs and emojis.

At this point, you are wondering if you can send a confetti shower to the birthday celebrant by simply typing specific codewords.

According to Adom Online, you can use the screen effects only if your device supports iOS. This means that it can only happen between two iOS-backed smartphones.

If you have an iPhone, you can now commence using these cool on-screen effects. To get started, you need to go to your iMessage app and search for the listed codewords there.

After that, your iPhone can now send the text along with your selected effect. Actually, you can also do the same process without typing a codeword.

To do this, hold down the blue-colored send button right after you jot down the text. You can now see other effects that you desire to use.

For instance, if you send "Selamat" or "congratulations'' as an iMessage, a confetti shower will appear on the screen of the receiver. If you want to greet your friend with an early "happy birthday," he/she will receive multi-color balloons.

For a change of scene, you can also send "Happy New Year" to trigger the fireworks display on-screen. For those people who are used to celebrating "Chinese New Year," you can use this message to witness a red explosion effect in the background.

If you're into the laser light show, you can send "pew pew" to your colleagues and other close people.

List of iMessage Screen Effects

The abovementioned screen effects are not the only ones that exist at the moment. In fact, there are nine codewords that you can message to your friends to trigger unique effects.

Check this list and try it for yourself.
Fireworks - exploding fireworks will appear on the screen
Lasers - presents a laser light show
Balloons - sends the recipient a set of balloons with different colors that will go up starting from the bottom
Confetti - multi-colored confetti display
Celebration - a red firework display will show up

Last month, Apple unveiled 37 new emojis following the arrival of the iOS 15.4 update. However, it appears that some users want to roll back these changes, per WION.
