Sorry that's not confetti it's condom wrappers for my magnum dong.

What is with the confetti?

[–] mic_check_one_two@lemmy.dbzer0.com 53 points 1 day ago (2 children)

iOS automatically detects certain key words/phrases, and does animations. Or you can just hold down the Send button to trigger it (and a variety of other effects) manually. This person went out of their way to intentionally trigger the confetti with the β€œI think we should see other people” message, by holding Send and then selecting the confetti option.

Maybe they thought it was like throwing a smoke bomb, and they could ghost while it clears.

iOS added animations to the iMessage app a while back. When it detects that you've said certain things or sent certain emojis, it shows an animation. I think one of those things is that "yay" or "congrats" gets you confetti all over the screen.

Not sure why it's happening for "I think we should see other people," though.

It’s because it’s typical fake bs. iOS wouldn’t do confetti on a conversion like this.

[–] ilinamorato@lemmy.world 2 points 7 hours ago

Definitely possible, but I've seen Apple release weirder bugs. Especially when they brought this functionality over to FaceTime.

[–] iamacar@lemmy.world 2 points 10 hours ago (1 children)

We could also consider the possibility this is a meme made for funny.

[–] ivanafterall@lemmy.world 1 points 9 hours ago

I choose to trust my fellow human. If the meme says it happened, who am I to say I know better?

[–] village604@adultswim.fan 11 points 1 day ago

I think there's a reason the message before is hidden.

[–] AFKBRBChocolate@lemmy.ca -4 points 1 day ago (2 children)

Looks like the first message has an engagement ring and heart emoji

[–] bran_buckler@lemmy.world 23 points 1 day ago (1 children)

That’s how the contact is saved in their phone, a name with a ring and heart.

[–] AFKBRBChocolate@lemmy.ca -1 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Huh, I wonder if it set off the confetti anyway

It did not because that’s not how it works

That appears to be part of the contact's name

Yo is that my man James Hong? Hell yeah. I literally heard that in my head in his voice. Complete with the little "hehheh auhhh...." thing he does.

That guy INVENTED that archetype. David Lo Pan, Covetus Chen, Mr. Ping, Chi Fu, random call of duty characters, hundreds of roles. They're always so colorful and hilarious and likable or even hateable.

Sorry, just a random appreciation I have...

I love this place for exactly this reason. Love learning new things!

Imagine this being the AI we never wanted in our personal messaging.
