## What is Touchgram for iMessage?

Touchies are for everyone!

Who do you want to connect with, impress or delight with a message that actually reacts to them touching?

Memes you can touch,  interactive greeting cards - what else can you imagine creating?


Put more fun into a message with an experience that reacts to touch. 

Touchgram lets you create truly interactive messages.

Touchgrams respond differently depending on where and how you touch them. Each message is as unique as you want to make them.

Within a single message, make one or many pages that respond to taps, swipes, tickles or stroking the screen. Record sounds and images to react with different visual effects. Build an entire story, dazzle friends with your creativity or fiendish puzzles.

If friends don't already have Touchgram installed, just send them one.

iMessage makes things easy: the first message they receive will include a download link right within the message bubble.

Save touchgrams to Favorites and “Edit" to see how they work, to remix.

## Version history (last 5 releases)

### 1.3.6 — 2025-08-22

Support for Purrticles particle emitter, companion app (from Purrticles v1.0.2), allowing pasting as feedback or page elements. 

Emitter elements added so you can add effects to the page like snow, fire, rain or anything new you create in Purrticles.

Feedback editor has more built-in effects, to show where you touched, and you can paste new effects from Purrticles.

Minor cosmetic bug fixes in Feedback and Text editors.

Fixing your initial experience including rewording of the techie term "Onboarding" to "Quick Tour".

Internally, much of our engine was reworked to support playing multiple documents at once and running on Mac (for Purrticles) but that doesn't affect Touchgram for iMessage.

### 1.3.5 — 2024-09-08

Missed Area actions are now available. If you have something like a Tickle inside an area, you can do something differently on success; if you don't tickle enough or; if you fail to tickle the right spot.

iOS17 issues fixed in color sliders and new hints on where to find Touchgram in the Messages app.

Onboarding made less annoying - if you ignore it twice in a row by tapping Make Messages, it turns off. (Sorry about that never going away before.)


Hints on where to touch are now easier to change, were buried in the Touch sensor pages.

Feedback as you touch is also easier to change - you can now see those at the top level.

Many changes internally to support upcoming ability for you to create sellable content in Touchgram and permissions protecting your rights against reuse without payment, or at all.

### 1.3.4 — 2023-08-08

Compatible with iOS17 - all previous versions will collapse the playing window when you drag your finger vertically.

Starts off with an "onboarding experience" where a Touchgram plays to teach you basic touches. 
The main app Settings screen will let you Reset onboarding to play it again.

Under the hood, many changes to support onboarding and upcoming features. A couple more versions are coming out soon for iOS12 then we will jump to requiring 15 when the art marketplace is added.

### 1.3.3 — 2022-08-04

Simplified sending messages, now sends immediately instead of just putting the composed Touchgram in the message bubble.

Improved layout and wording in touch editing screen.

Big changes under the hood to get ready for our upcoming art marketplace. This will be the final version compatible with iOS 12 to 14.

### 1.3.2 — 2022-02-13

Bugfixes including severe crashing bug on any iOS version earlier than iOS 15.

Also fixes 
- Crash after Duplicate then Delete (813)

- Old standard faves are now replaced when updated (768, 789)
- View Source command renamed Edit
