iOS automatically detects certain key words/phrases, and does animations. Or you can just hold down the Send button to trigger it (and a variety of other effects) manually. This person went out of their way to intentionally trigger the confetti with the “I think we should see other people” message, by holding Send and then selecting the confetti option.
iOS added animations to the iMessage app a while back. When it detects that you’ve said certain things or sent certain emojis, it shows an animation. I think one of those things is that “yay” or “congrats” gets you confetti all over the screen.
Not sure why it’s happening for “I think we should see other people,” though.
I mean, how do you think spelling correction works? Local on-device “reading” of text is a pretty simple feature that’s used for a bunch of stuff (detecting URLs, email addresses…)
Sure, as you do with any software. A computer is always looking at your data and input. That’s how it works. Unless you audit it yourself, you have to take someone else’s word it isn’t doing something it isn’t supposed to.
I am absolutely not an Apple Stan. I hate Apple. I’m on Linux for a reason, and my phone is running Android (which I also hate, but whatever). You’re reasoning was just bad.
What is with the confetti?

Maybe they thought it was like throwing a smoke bomb, and they could ghost while it clears.

You can manually show whatever animation you want just hold down the send button

you’d have to take it at their word all of this stays inside the device.

haha touché, computers always invade your privacy anyway!
apple stans always with the very best reasoning.

for starters, foss code is audited collectively, not individually.
please don’t believe what apple marketing says at face value.
