Typing Bubble Torture

 

  • This abuses the iMessage 'typing awareness indicator' to make them sweat.

HOW TO DO IT :

  • When they text you something important (or ask a question), open the chat.
  • Type a single spacebar or a random letter to activate the '...' typing bubble on their screen.
  • Leave your phone open on that screen for 3 full minutes.
  • Then, delete the space, close the app, and do not reply for an hour.

WHY IT WORKS :

  • They are staring at their screen thinking: 'Oh my god, they have been typing a massive paragraph for 3 minutes. What are they going to say? Are they mad? When the bubble disappears with no text, they will panic and usually send a follow-up text trying to fix whatever they think they did wrong.
