Before you send a handwritten message in iMessage on your iPhone, note that it can also work for Android users if sent as a regular text. However, the note will not be animated as it will be sent as an MMS.

Open Messages on your iPhone and tap the Compose button to start a new message. Alternatively, you can open an existing conversation.
Next, turn your iPhone horizontal to access. You can access your Orientation Lock from Control Center. If you are using an iPad, there is no need to turn your device sideways.
