Hi list very early on in my Iphone experience, I learned a little trick that I tried today and failed.  On out of sight on the I discussion group I learned how to send messages with special effects fireworks, balloons and other things.  Supposedly you didn't just tap, you tapped and held and a sound came on and you then saw the send with effects choices.  Tried twice but nothing happened.  My phone actually got stuck on the send button the second time.  Did I forget a step or has something changed with IOS.  Wanted to send two birthday messages, one to my neice chrystal and one to a classmate with fireworks.  Did I forget to maybe swipe or something?

Good morning,

No, it still works. I just did it. The single finger double tap and hold will bring up the bubble and screen effects screen.
Although, I have also experienced within the past year that sometimes I do the double tap and hold and it still makes the sound but doesn’t bring up the screen and just sends the message.
You could also try the single finger triple tap which does the same long press feature gesture.
I would also recommend when glitches start happening to restart your phone.

Hello! I thought I'd share a link to episode 80 of Access On.  Jonathan Mosen has put together a comprehensive review of the BrailleNote Evolve, and HumanWare talks a bit at the end.  There's a transcript as well.  Listen here. <https://nfb.org/resources/publications-and-media/access-podcast/braillenote-evolve-humanware>
