Great news for Google Messages users! A new feature called Screen Effects has been added to the app, allowing you to add animated backgrounds to your text messages. This feature is exclusive to beta testers of the app and is sure to add some fun and excitement to your messaging experience.

Here’s what you need to know about Screen Effects on Google Messages:

– When certain trigger phrases are sent or received, an animation will be displayed in the background of the message.
– For example, typing “I Love You” will fill the background with hearts until a dove flies north leaving a white trail, which then becomes the regular background for the app.
– If you type “Sounds good,” multiple giant thumbs up will appear all over the background.
– Currently, there are more than 15 trigger phrases that activate Screen Effects.
