9. Enable Voice Over
Pick up your friends phone and activate Siri. Now just say, "Turn on Voice Over". Whenever your friend turns on the phone, he/she will hear Siri translating text to speech.
You could leave a spooky message on his screen with the iMessage app open or some sticky notes with some scary message.
You can later turn off the Voice Over feature via Settings or ask Siri to do it.
10. Replace some text
Explore the Replace Text feature in iOS with incredible possibilities as you can substitute a simple word like "hey" with something weird as "psstt" or "abracadabra". For instance, you can define any common word like "hey" as shortcut with its replacement text or expanded phrase being something spooky.
You can find this option via Settings > General > Keyboard > Text Replacement.
