Anyone else confused about the new iMessage reactions?

I just noticed something weird with iMessage reactions, and I’m not sure if it’s new or if I’ve just never seen it before. Has anyone else noticed this?

Wait… how did you do that?

Just press and hold the send button, then tap ‘Screen’ at the top.

I’m there, but I don’t see any way to change the presets.

@West
You just use the knife emoji as usual, then hold the send button and pick the screen effect. The knife under the ‘I’m going to kill you’ message is just an emoji blending with the effect.

@Jovi
Lol that’s actually hilarious

Wait… this isn’t new, right?

Yeah, this has been there since iOS 10. Just hold the send button, then tap ‘Screen’—it’s the echo effect. They just used it with the knife emoji.

What in the world? How does that work?

Not related but that’s one of my favourite bands

Yeah, I saw the sender’s name and thought the same. What’s the band got to do with the post?

This is old… like more than 5 years old.

That’s actually awesome

Wait, is that real?

Yeah, that emoji just means ‘I’m going to cook a great meal that will satisfy your hunger.’
