  • Tapback reactions — Love, like, dislike, laugh, emphasize, question mark
  • Edit messages — Fix typos or update content after sending
  • Unsend messages — Retract recently sent messages
  • Thread replies — Reply within specific message threads
  • Remove reactions — Take back tapback reactions
  • Try Asking

  • "Send an iMessage to +1234567890 saying 'Running 5 minutes late!'"

  • Pro Tips

  • Requires BlueBubbles gateway running on a Mac with iMessage
  • E.164 phone format required — include country code (e.g., +1 for US)
  • Chat GUID targeting is most reliable for group chats
  • Bubble effects only work when recipient uses iMessage (not SMS)
