Sending the GIF as the first message would often lead to the recipient receiving an alert on the iPhone's lock screen, which also includes a preview of the image. I tested this on a few different people last night, and I found the prank to be most effective when I sent it in the middle of a conversation. Notice the subtle differences so you don't fall victim to this prank. The bottom bubble is what it looks like when someone is really typing. The top typing bubble is the animated GIF. Once you have that GIF saved to your iPhone, you can copy and paste it into any iMessage conversation and it will give the impression to the recipient that you're typing. Don't worry if the picture isn't moving when you view it in your Camera Roll, it will become animated as soon as you tap Send in iMessage.
Save the GIF displayed under Step 1 to your iPhone's Camera Roll by placing your finger on the image until the prompt to save is displayed. What you'll need to do in order to pull off the prank is visit this page on the Miscellaneous Mischief Web site using your iPhone. I wasn't sure what to expect when I clicked on the link, but I was not disappointed. Yesterday I spotted a tweet from linking to a GIF-based iMessage prank.
That same feature can also be the center of a prank. This simple animation gives you a heads-up of an incoming message I often find myself staring at the dancing dots until the message eventually comes through. One of the advantages that iMessage has over text messaging is that an indicator is displayed when the other person in the conversation is typing a message.
