But did you know that you can WRITE (yes, "write", like in the good old days before computers) a message to send to your friends?

It's more like scribble actually (in fact, that's what it's called on the Apple Watch) because you can write and draw on a canvas and send that in iMessage.

Go to iMessage and turn your iPhone to landscape mode.

Put your iPhone back on Portrait mode and you can see the complete message:

You can then send the message.
