Send a message with effects

Tapbacks are a fun and fast way to respond to iMessages whether its just text, a photo, or video with expressions like thumbs up or down, a heart, or exclamation marks. But especially if you’re in. With Tapback, you can quickly reply to messages with expressions, like a thumbs up or a heart. Sep 14, 2016 Tapbacks show up as icons that you can add to a message you've received. Options include a thumbs up, a thumbs down, a heart, exclamation points, a question mark, and a the word 'haha.'

With message effects, you can use bubble effects to change the way your message bubbles look, or use full-screen effects to animate the screen. You can even add a Memoji sticker with bubble effects or full-screen effects.

I’ve noticed -- especially since upgrading to iOS 11 -- that in some threads in the Messages app I’ll receive a message from one of the chat participants “Loved an image”. I’m sure this corresponds to them selecting an image and trying to add a heart to it (I understand this is called the tapback feature), but the heart isn’t appearing on the image. Instead I get that message from them, with no indication which image they loved.

Is this an issue for anybody else? Is anybody else seeing this? What can I do to fix it?
