Text scribble When creating a new message there's the possibility to scribble the text manually, sometimes the option is also present when answering to a text, but other times the option is not there (or is present for one of the contact and unavailable for others). Anyone knows what is the reason behind that? I thought that it might be due to the fact that the watch is not connected to the phone via Bluetooth and is only using WiFi connection to communicate, but there's no rule. Sometimes I can scribble, sometimes I can't.

Scribble does not appear to support Portuguese language. See watchOS - Feature Availability - Apple for more information.
