Drop Soundboard puts sound reactions inside Messages. Preview a sound, stage it in the conversation, and send it when the group chat needs more than words. Start with 25 included sounds, or make your own. MAKE FIVE CUSTOM DROPS FOR FREE Record with the microphone or import audio or video from Files and Photos. Trim the moment to eight seconds or less, title it, add an author, and choose whether others can save it. Keep up to five custom Drops for free. Deleting one frees a slot for another. Included and received sounds do not use these five slots. PLAY AND SEND Listen in the app, open a sound's details, and choose Send in Messages. Choose a recipient and tap Send in Apple's message composer. Inside a Messages conversation, tap a Drop card to play it and queue it beside Apple's send arrow. The info button beside search explains how Drop works. OPEN OR LOCKED Open sounds can be saved by recipients when they have collection space. Locked sounds stay playable in the message, but recipients cannot save or resend them from Drop Soundboard. Authors can still send their own Locked sounds. YOUR COLLECTION Star your favorites to keep them at the top. Free users can keep up to 75 active sounds in total. A one-time Premium purchase expands the collection to 500 sounds, lets you create more custom Drops within that collection, and unlocks style editing for every sound and app appearance customization.
