APPLE fans are obsessed with a clever trick they say lets you “react” even faster in the Messages app.
iPhone owners admitted that they’d never noticed the feature – and it’s earning rave reviews online.

The feature is built into iMessage, and was shared on Reddit.
In a thread, an iPhone owner wrote: “I was today years old when I figured out you could double tap iMessages.
“Did anyone else know you could double tap texts and iMessages to bring up the reaction and reply panels?
“I actually prefer it now – it feels faster to me. Anyway, sorry if I was the only one. Figured I’d share nonetheless!’
Normally to send an emoji-reaction or quote-reply a message, you’d need to long-press on an iPhone.
But this savvy gadget fan realized that it’s far quicker to just double-tap the message instead.
It might only save you a fraction of a second, but it feels much better.
When you double-tap, the available emoji reactions appear above the message – and the option to reply shows up just below.
The thread that revealed the feature has earned hundreds of Reddit upvotes as shocked fans reacted to it.
One said: “Thanks for that tip! Long-tapping always feels clunky to me.”
Another said: “Oh wow! Thanks for that lol. Definitely going to start using that feature.”
And one added: “Ya this is freaking great thanks. Yeah I gotta retrain too.”
There is another iMessage reply trick you might have missed.
You can also just swipe-right on a message to quickly reply to it.
iPhone tricks to try today
Here are some of the best...
Typing cursor – When typing, hold down the space bar to turn your keyboard into a trackpad, letting you move around words and sentences more easily
Close all Safari tabs – To do this in one go, simply hold the overlapped squares in the bottom right-hand corner, and press close all tabs
Delete lots of photos quickly – Hold down on a photo and then drag your finger diagonally in Photos to select lots of images at once, then hit delete
Convert currency quickly – Swipe down from the top of your Home screen, then tap in the bar and type a currency (like €200) and it will automatically covert to your local currency
Check if you’re due a battery upgrade – Batteries inside smartphones degrade over time. Just go to Settings > Battery > Battery Health, and check out the Maximum Capacity reading. Generally a battery is considered worn when you’re down to 80% capacity. If you’re below, you can buy a battery swap from Apple
Move apps around faster – Hold an app until it starts wiggling, then (while still holding) tap other apps, causing them to stack so you can move them around easier
OTHER IMESSAGE TRICKS ON IPHONE
Of course iMessage is packed with secret features that you should start using immediately.
For instance, if you tap and hold the blue Send button, you can choose the Invisible Ink option.
This means your message will only be visible to the recipient if they rub their finger on it.
It’s a great way to text in public if someone is watching over your shoulder.
