iMessage has got two all-new screen effects such as, “Spotlight” and “Echo” in iOS 11. While the former highlights your message by putting a large spotlight over it, the latter multiplies the message all over the screen; thereby bringing plenty of fun into the play. How about having a go at these new screen effects? Go through this quick guide to send iMessage with Spotlight and Echo screen effects on iPhone and iPad

Step #1. Launch Messages app on your iOS device → Open any conversation.
Step #2. Now, tap on iMessage text field → Type the message.
Step #3. Next up, touch and hold the send button.
Step #4. Up next, you need to select the Screen tab at the top.

You can also send GIF, photo, and video with Echo and Spotlight effects. If you want to send photo/video with the screen effect, tap on the camera icon → either select the clip from your library or snap a new one → Tap and hold send button → Select screen effect → then go about sending it as usual.

Your Favorite Screen Effects?
I like to send iMessage with screen effects as they provide the real wings to the emotions. Among all the nine-screen effects, I like Love, Echo and off course Spotlight. I’m so sad to know that there are no new bubble effects in iPhone.
