How do I disable ALL text effects for outgoing texts on iOS 13?


Since the update, I can't text half the time, because pressing the send arrow, whether holding down on it or tapping it, takes me to the bubble/screen "send with effect" screen, and no matter what I select, it goes back to the text dialogue, and again, if I try to send, I'm back at the bubble/screen "send with effect" dialogue.


I just want to text, without the hassle of these effect options! Help me turn it all off!!!

I posted the same problem in September. Unfortunately I don't remember the details of my fix - but it involved changes to Set-up > Messages. Isn't it frustrating when people offer answers which describe how it is supposed to work rather than giving you settings describing how to get your device to work? Sorry about that.
