Such a great concept, but when I tried it, it sent to the wrong side - didn't work. I probably did something wrong, but it wasn't what I was hoping for :-(

@ramykhuffash Ramy, you're not the only one! Make sure you're using them like stickers, so actually "peeling" them off, and then dragging them to cover the entirety of the other personโ€™s text. If you're just tapping and sending, it will send no the right side and not look right.

This is very ingenious people!! Maybe as a feedback, I would say if you can make it so that the fake message deletes itself after a "while" or X number of messages sent afterwards that could be good so you have the actual conversation history too because what if you are trying to remember what was in that specific bubble? just a thought. At least some way to reverse it in case you need the original text back.

@cemedericarak Thanks Cem! If you tap the "i" in the top right of iMessage, you'll see all the Images in that conversation. You can then long tap on any sticker you want and delete it. Hope that's helpful!

I love it. Texting will never be the same.

Hey guys...this is a pretty funny idea but I am confused with the sizing of the bubbles. They dont match realistic the size of natural text bubbles for 1 and 2 line messages.. You have several 2 line stickers that are half the width of a normal 2 line text message. it looks really awkward. Here is an example: https://cl.ly/0e351a2g3X2d Am I doing something wrong??

@callmethebear Hey Adam! I tweeted this the other day to try and help explain: https://twitter.com/ahow/status/.... Basically: stickers are square, iMessage chat bubbles are not. So Phoneys works best on short texts, so you can cover them up 100%. There's also this new way of using them that I discovered today: https://twitter.com/ahow/status/.... Hope that helps!

I bought it and I love it. I am just sad that Apple might be pulling it. I wanted there to be an "I love you" bubble so I could go, "awww, thanks."

My friend got me today with that! He said at my place "You are my hero". Then he responded "Thank's". Then I said I never wrote that ๐Ÿ˜‚
