Draw, Nudge, Surprise and Play
Free · In‑App Purchases · Designed for iPad. Not verified for macOS.
2-player Crossfire Blast battles are free. Host your first 4-player Crossfire Blast battle free — opponents always play free. Plus Nudges and timed Surprises!
Make Messages more fun with aBop—games, challenges, reminders, and surprises designed to be sent, opened, and enjoyed right inside your conversations.
Send a Nudge so someone doesn't forget. Hide a Surprise until the perfect moment. Challenge your friends to a Draw-off. Or battle it out in Crossfire. With aBop, an ordinary message becomes something you can actually interact with together.
NUDGE
Reminders don't have to feel like reminders.
• Send a Nudge now and get a “Got It” acknowledgement
• Schedule a Nudge for a specific date and time
• Send normal or important reminders
• Let the recipient review and accept scheduled reminders
• See when a scheduled Nudge has been accepted
• Manage pending Nudges you no longer need
Important Nudges can use enhanced alarm-style experiences on supported devices. When unavailable, they can still be accepted as normal notifications.
SURPRISE
Make them wait for it.
Create a timed reveal for birthdays, announcements, inside jokes, encouragement—or anything worth waiting for.
Choose a cover, hide text, a photo, or both behind it, and choose when your Surprise unlocks. Until then, what's inside stays hidden. When the moment arrives, your friend can tap to reveal it.
On supported devices, aBop can also help create images using Apple Intelligence.
DRAW
Think you can draw? Prove it.
Pick a category and challenge, set the timer, and invite your conversation. Go head-to-head or turn a group chat into a Draw-off with up to 8 players while everyone else watches the results.
• Fun challenges across multiple categories
• Fast timed rounds
• One Stroke challenges
• Four drawing colors
• Head-to-head and group competitions
• On-device judging
• Winner highlights and result cards
• Shareable masterpieces—and wonderfully questionable doodles
When everyone’s finished drawing, AI takes over as judge—comparing the entries, picking a winner, and delivering playful commentary on the results.
CROSSFIRE BLAST
2 Players. 4 Players. Total Chaos.
Aim. Slide. Fire.
Challenge a friend to a strategic 1-on-1 battle or turn your group chat into an addictive 4-player showdown!
Crossfire Blast automatically adapts to your iMessage conversation:
• 1:1 Chat: Battle head-to-head.
• Group Chat (4+ people): 4-player mode automatically enabled. No setup required!
• More than 4 friends? Others can spectate and jump into the next round.
Outsmart your opponents, block their moves, and turn the tables when they least expect it. Every move counts!
All the action happens right inside iMessage. Make your move, send it back, and keep the battle going!
BUILT FOR MESSAGES
No separate social network. No rooms to create. No complicated setup.
Open aBop from Messages, choose what you want to send, and start playing, nudging, surprising, or creating with the people already in your conversations.
Whether you're reminding someone about something important, building anticipation for a reveal, deciding who can draw the best cat in 30 seconds, or battling a friend in Crossfire, aBop gives you more ways to interact in Messages.
Make Messages more fun. Send an aBop.
Some features require notification permission. Alarm-style reminders and Apple Intelligence features depend on compatible hardware, operating-system version, language, region, and system availability. Recipients need aBop installed to open and interact with aBop messages.
