If the receiving phone's Reduce Motion setting is turned on, this will suppress incoming Message effects.

Still not working , after turning ON Reduce motion.

1. Go to Settings > Accessibility.
2. Select Motion, then turn on Reduce Motion.

Sorry, what? What is "MT side" and "MO side" mean? Is the recipient using an iPhone running iOS 26?

 

[Satya Kishore]

MT : is Mobile Terminate ( Incoming) MO : Mobile Originate ( outgoing)
Both Recipient and sender on IOS 26 only.

Got it. And are both phones showing blue bubble for iMessage (not falling back to RCS or SMS)? Was it working before iOS 26 or has it always been an issue?

Some things to try:

On the MT:
1) Accessibility-->Motion, make sure Reduce Motion is back to OFF and that Autoplay Message Effects is ON.
2) Have them force close Messages and relaunch the app.
If issue persists:
3) Make sure Apple Intelligence is on (I don't think this is necessary, but test it)
4) Check keyboard settings: autocorrect is enabled? predictive text is on? phone keyboard is set to the same language you are using? (Changing these SHOULD only affect the MO side, but there might be an unintended consequence of disabling for the MT side.)
