Remember those Magic Eye posters? Magic Messages lets you make your own. Draw anything with your finger, or drop in a photo. Magic Messages turns it into a single-image random-dot stereogram β€” a wall of dots that looks like noise until you relax your eyes and a hidden 3D shape floats up. MAKE IT β€’ Draw with a depth-aware brush β€” with Apple Pencil, press harder to push a stroke nearer. β€’ Turn any photo into a stereogram: Portrait shots use their real 3D depth, everything else gets smooth on-device AI depth. β€’ Silky-smooth relief or bold stepped planes β€” your choice. Draw right on top of your photos. β€’ Mirror and kaleidoscope symmetry for instant, satisfying patterns. SEE IT β€’ Stuck? Hold Peek to reveal the answer, or use the red/cyan 3D mode with a pair of anaglyph glasses. β€’ A built-in coach teaches free-fusing, backed by guided practice and a playful β€œCan you see 3D?” check. SHARE IT β€’ Send hidden messages right inside iMessage. β€’ Export a still, an animated GIF, or a movie β€” including the mesmerising shimmer, a dynamic stereogram only your eyes can decode. β€’ Share a photo into Magic Messages straight from the Photos app β€” it can decode stereograms you’ve been sent, too. On iPhone and iPad. Everything happens on your device, and your gallery syncs privately through your own iCloud. Nothing is collected or tracked β€” we never see your data.
