💬 Scruffy’s Digital Journy — How to Send a Text Message

Hi, I’m Scruffy. Christopher explained that sending a text message is like writing a quick note that travels instantly. At first, I thought mobiles were only for calling. But Christopher reminded me: texting is a safe, simple way to share words, feelings, and reminders.

🌀 What Texting Involves

• Open the Messages App: Look for the speech bubble icon on your home screen.

• Start a New Message: Tap the “+” or “New Message” button.

• Choose a Contact: Select someone from your contacts or type their phone number.

• Write Your Message: Tap the text box and type your words.

• Send Safely: Tap the arrow or “Send” button to deliver it.
