Use effects to animate the message bubble: you can send a message with Slam or Loud so that it appears to pop out, or use Gentle so it arrives softly. You can even send a personal message with Invisible Ink that remains blurred until the recipient swipes to reveal it.
Certain words trigger fun effects in Apple's iMessage. Typing “Happy Birthday” fills the screen with balloons, “Congratulations” drops confetti, and “Pew pew” launches a laser light show. You can also send fireworks with “Happy New Year” or firecrackers for occasions like Lunar or Chinese New Year.
Sending messages without notifications (Silent messaging) By using the Silent messaging feature offered in LINE Labs, you can send messages without recipients receiving pop-ups or push notifications.
If you see a green message bubble instead of a blue one, then that message was sent using RCS or MMS/SMS instead of iMessage. There are several possible reasons for this: The person that you sent the message to doesn't have an Apple device. iMessage is turned off on your device or on your recipient's device.
If you see green bubbles, this means that your text messages are being sent through SMS, and they might have blocked you on iMessage. For example, if you send me a message and I receive it with a green bubble, this means that the message was sent through SMS rather than iMessage.
Signs you may have been blocked
You don't get a delivery confirmation. If you have an iPhone and text another iPhone but don't see a “Delivered” notification, someone may have blocked you. (Android phones don't automatically show these messages.)
Well, there are plenty of reasons: Focus Mode: When people need to concentrate, they might silence their notifications to avoid distractions. Do Not Disturb: During meetings, while sleeping, or at other inopportune times, people use Do Not Disturb to keep their phones quiet.
The “silent treatment” is when a person refuses to communicate with someone because they are angry or upset. It can sometimes be a form of emotional abuse. The silent treatment may be abusive if one person uses it to control and manipulate the other.
What does Delivered Quietly mean? If you see "Delivered Quietly" under a text, the person you texted has a Focus mode (Sleep, Do Not Disturb, etc.) enabled. Your text was delivered, but they will not see a notification until they turn off their Focus mode.
Typing "Happy Birthday", for example, will trigger a balloons animation. "Eid Mubarak" triggers a shooting star, while "Pew pew" triggers a laser show. Type the following codewords to see animations: Pew pew.
You can set up triggers to automatically respond to common queries and requests for information. For example, you can set a CONTACT trigger that will automatically reply with your business' contact information when a contact texts that keyword to your short code.
1. kindly; amiable. a gentle manner. 2. not severe, rough, or violent; mild.
As a phrase, “dry texting” is relatively recent in the grand scheme of things. It refers to people who reply with one word, or don't carry the conversation and just say things like “lmao” and “wyd” until the receiver wants to tear their hair out in frustration or boredom.
Silence can mean many things in interpersonal relationships. It's ambiguous. It can express lots of different emotions ranging from joy, happiness, grief, embarrassment to anger, denial, fear, withdrawal of acceptance or love. What it means depends on the context.
If she's been hurt before—whether by you or in past relationships—she might go silent as a form of self-protection. Keeping quiet might seem like the safest option to avoid further emotional pain. She could be waiting for reassurance that it's safe to open up again without getting hurt.
This means that the recipient is not aware of receiving the message. Silent SMS is often used for various purposes, such as tracking the location of a mobile phone, testing network coverage, or checking the availability of a device.
When Do Not Disturb is on, a crescent moon icon appears in the status bar and on your Lock Screen.
On your iPhone, the Bell with a line through it means that the notifications from that person are muted. When that person sends you a text message then you will not hear any sounds/notifications.
Underneath each message you send, there should be a small bar of grey text that says “Delivered” if your message went through, or “Read” if the recipient has read receipts turned on. If your past few messages have no status beneath them, it's possible they've been blocked.
Even with today's diverse range of communication devices, *67 still works on cell phones and landlines. No matter which device you use, whether an iPhone or Android, the code allows you to hide your phone numbers during calls.
Android phones move all blocked messages into a folder on the phone called “Spam and Blocked.” That means that the phone is still collecting messages from the blocked people; they just aren't notifying you. This can be a lifesaver in needing those blocked messages for various reasons after the fact.
