Step #1: Enable iMessage

Let’s begin by enabling iMessage:

1. Open the Settings application.
2. Find “Messages” and tap on it.

3. Tap on their name to open the conversation window.
4. Tap the message and tap the space bar twice to ensure the send button is highlighted.
5. Once highlighted, tap the send button to share the blank message with your target person.

At this point, you will notice that the iMessage will be sent, and a blue bubble will appear to confirm that your iMessage has been sent.

Once the target person receives the empty message, you can wait to see how they will react and whether they will message you back or assume it.
