Text Effects

Hi all. Does anyone know if the text affects in the roder works? I highlight text in the messages app and I go to the text affects option in the VO roder but I can't even use it. I flick up and down, nothing, left and right, no dice either. Using IPhone 13 here. Double tapping just moves the insertion point to the beginning or end like it always does. I know there's the button but shouldn't this work too? Thanks.

The roater setting is only to confirm which text effect was applied. To apply an effect you have to let Predicted Text turned on in settings. Then in the message field swipe right past auto responses and you will find Text Effects button.

Oh wow. Thanks. That helps a lot. I thought you aught to be able to go through them with the roder.

Apologies if this has already been mentioned, but after typing a message, if you triple tap the send button, you get a dialogue with effect choices. These are full screen effects, and voiceover will read out what they do once they are sent or received. One of the really neat ones is invisible ink, kinda makes your messages all sneaky like. 🙂

Those affects have been there for a while. Still cool though.
