    When I send a message with confetti to my boyfriend's 7 Plus we bought today, the message says "sent with confetti" in parentheses, but it doesn't show confetti on his screen. What's the problem?

    It should only display that message if the phone is not on iOS 10. If the phone is fully updated, try asking someone at the Apple store.

    You need to press and hold the arrow until a screen comes up.

    That may mean that they don't have an iPhone, or they have not yet updated to iOS 10 or higher.
