If youve exhausted your streaming services, cleaned the house two times over and need something new to occupy your time, iPhone users can type pew pew to their iOS friends and amuse them with lasers or just as easily annoy them.In a sure sign that cabin fever is getting to us, its recently come to the internets attention that typing pew pew makes lasers appear, though really, iPhone users have been able to do this for some time weve just never been bored enough to find it.In fact, iMessage has a number of screen effects hidden up its sleeve that perhaps youve already stumbled across: balloons float up from the bottom of the screen if you wish someone a happy birthday, fireworks will burst across the message if you say happy new year and colorful confetti falls if you type congratulations.(Image credit: Future)The pew pew laser effect is the odd one out here, not least because the lasers look less like the Star Wars-eque shooting lasers youd expect and more like a cheesy laser light show from the early 2000s.It turns out iPhone users can add effects to any of their iMessages just type your message and then hold down the little blue arrow you hit to send.
Youll be presented with plenty of options other than what weve mentioned above, such as a spotlight effect or a shooting star.While we may be separated from our friends and family by distance, it doesnt mean we cant amuse them from afar before seriously getting on their nerves.KoG4c9vF7aebtyEkPmHBYm.jpg?#
