Hi there joeyandru,
We understand you're trying to send a message from your Apple Watch, and we'd like to share a resource that can help.
Take a look at it here: Send messages from Apple Watch
Specifically, check out the section below:
"Compose a text message
You can compose a message in a variety of ways—most of them on a single screen. After creating a message, tap the Create Message field, then do one or a combination of the following:
- Use the QWERTY and QuickPath keyboard: (Apple Watch Series 7 only) Tap characters to enter them or use the QuickPath keyboard to slide from one letter to the next without lifting your finger (not available for all languages). To end a word, lift your finger.
- If you don’t see the keyboard, swipe up from the bottom, then tap the Keyboard button.
- Use Scribble: Use your finger to write your message. To edit your message, turn the Digital Crown to move the cursor into position, then make your edit.
- To use predictive text, tap a finished or unfinished word to highlight it, then turn the Digital Crown to see suggested words. Stop turning the Digital Crown to enter the highlighted suggestion.
- Tip: If you’ve set up your Apple Watch to use more than one language, you can choose a different language when using Scribble. Just swipe up from the bottom of the screen, then choose a language.
- Scribble is not available in all languages.
- Dictate text: Tap
, say what you want to say, then tap Done. You can speak punctuation, too—for example, “did it arrive question mark.” - To return to using Scribble, turn the Digital Crown or tap
. - Include emoji: Tap
, tap a frequently used emoji or tap a category, then scroll to browse available images. When you find the right symbol, tap it to add it to your message. - Enter text with your iPhone: When you start composing a message and your paired iPhone is nearby, a notification appears on the iPhone, offering to let you enter text using the iOS keyboard. Tap the notification, then type the text using the iPhone keyboard."
We hope this helps.
