How to text on a Samsung phone?

Texting on a Samsung phone is a straightforward process. Here’s a step-by-step guide to help you send a text message:

Method 1: Using the Messages App

1. Open the Messages App:
   • Locate the “Messages” app on your home screen or in the app drawer. The icon typically looks like a speech bubble.
2. Start a New Message:
   • Tap the “+” or the “Start chat” button (usually located at the bottom right corner) to create a new message.
3. Select a Recipient:
   • In the “To” field, you can type the name of the contact or the phone number of the person you want to text. If the contact is saved in your phone, it will auto-suggest based on what you type.
4. Compose Your Message:
   • Tap in the text area to bring up the keyboard, and type your message.
5. Send the Message:
   • Once you have finished composing your message, tap the “Send” button (it usually looks like a paper airplane icon) to deliver your message.

Method 2: Using Voice to Text

1. Open the Messages App and start a new message as described above.
2. Activate Voice Input:
   • Tap the microphone icon on the keyboard.
3. Speak Your Message:
   • Clearly state the message you want to send. The phone will convert your speech into text.
4. Send the Message:
   • Review the message and tap the “Send” button when you are ready to send it.

Additional Tips

• Adding Emojis or Media: You can usually find emoji options in the keyboard. To add pictures or videos, tap the attachment icon (often represented by a paperclip or camera icon) to upload media files.
• Group Messages: To send a message to multiple contacts, simply add multiple recipients in the “To” field.
• Receiving Messages: You’ll receive notifications for new messages. Tap the notification to open the messaging thread and read the message.
• Deleting Messages: Long press on a message or conversation thread to see options for deletion or other actions.

Note:

The interface or features may vary slightly depending on your Samsung phone model and the version of the Android operating system you are using, but these general steps should guide you in sending a text message.
