Apple has been quick to tout all of its amazing new hardware in its iPhone 7 ads, but the company’s latest spot is all about software. And balloons.

Even though Apple has dubbed it an iPhone 7 ad, anyone with an iPhone or iPad running iOS 10 can take advantage of the new messaging effects. To add a burst of balloons to your texts, simply hold down on the send button to bring up the option to send balloons, confetti, fireworks, a laser show or a shooting star.
