For example, telling someone “Happy Birthday” sends balloons streaming across the screen, while “congratulations” will make it rain with confetti.

Even if you’re not saying either of those things, you can still send fun effects that will take over the recipient’s screen (if they have iOS 10).

Write your message and long press the arrow to the right. Next, swipe over to screen and toggle through the different options, including, balloons, confetti, lasers, fireworks and a shooting star.

While it might not actually lead to a city filled with balloons like the lady in the advertisement, it’s arguably the next coolest thing.
