Send an iMessage that says “Congratulations” and confetti rains down on the screen. Type “Happy Birthday” to a fellow iPhone-totin’ friend and balloons float up from the bottom of the screen. Do Android users have a similar feature? From last November to this February they did when Google took “Screen Effects” out for a test drive. A message sent saying “I love you” resulted in animated hearts appearing on the screen. The phrase “Sounds good” also set off the same screen effect with the animated hearts.

“I Love You” and “Sounds Good” no longer elicit an animated effect on the screen. It’s possible that these phrases are used too often setting off the animations too frequently. The new “Screen Effects” triggers and the animation that follows include:
- Booo: Tomatoes are thrown at the screen similar to what audiences used to do to performances on stage who weren’t entertaining the crowd. Note that three “o’s” are required.
- Congratulations: Confetti falls from the top, Balloons rise from the bottom.
- Going to the beach: A sand pail, a starfish, and waves.
- Hahahaha: With four ha’s you’ll see Tube men like the kind that appear outside your local used car dealership.
- Rise and shine:Β A brilliant yellow sun with birds.
