It's a + symbol at the top of the screen I think.

Hi @Mimo

If it's anything like the Note 8, you just press on the persons name from your contact list and it gives you the option to either

Call ...Message...or Video call.

Hope that helps

Hi thank you for your fast reply' s but what mean is like on my s8 if i go into messages i have little circle button at bottom click on that then it takes me into contacts then at top right corner it gives me option to compose a new message without having to put a name or number first.

Have you got the button at the bottom of the screen that looks like a speech bubble?

Hi @Mimo.

I have the S8+ so I understand what you're talking about. While I no longer text, I would follow the route @Cleoriff mentioned above, ie go into contacts, click on the appropriate name and choose text. Even following the route you mention you still have to click on the name of the person you wish to send a text to.

I would assume, wrongly perhaps, that either route would be on the S9. However, does the S9 not have the User Manual in settings, like the S8/S8+ that would, hopefully, provide the answer to your question?

Edited to add: just had a look at the User Manual on my phone and it tells you everything but the basics, ie how to send a text, for example!

If honest I can't see that part of the Note 9 being any different to the Note 8.

If I go into Messages it shows Frequently Contacted and then Contacts. All in a list.

As I said, I just press on the name I want to contact and it then gives me the options I mentioned in my first post above

@Mimo

You can compose a message without the name. I have taken a screenshot of my Note 8 (excuse the fact I have blocked my contacts lol)

If you have the orange pen logo at the bottom as shown... then you can compose a message and add who you want to send it to afterwards.

Hope that helps

Hi @Mimo

Yes it does BUT then, on the right hand side of the screen at the top it says Compose

If you click on that, the keyboard appears, so you can compose a text and add recipient(s) after ...

It must be oreo 8.1 thing or note 9 thing because I've got that on my s8 but not on the note 9. Strange that. But thankyou for helping.

Well @Cleoriff I just learned something new, because I can do exactly the same on my S8+. Good to know if I ever need to text 👍

Hi and good morning just an update went to the o2 s hop today and they noticed that the compose button was missing so they said it should be fixed hopefully in the next update .🤞 also We Noticed even thou I have delivery Reports on i Was not getting delivery Reports when Text messages were sent. so hopefully that will get Sorted as well.

Re: Compose button

MI5 — Sun, 16 Sep 2018 10:40:20 GMT

You don't get delivery reports with O2 unless you prefix all messages with *0#

Re: Compose button

Cleoriff — Sun, 16 Sep 2018 10:41:24 GMT

@MimoJust hope it does get sorted soon.

Though I thought you said you had a compose button but it was blue? No worries, you can still send texts currently via your contacts so that part of the phone is working. Best of luck with the Note 9. I love my Note 8. Never had a better phone.

Re: Compose button

MI5 — Sun, 16 Sep 2018 11:10:18 GMT

Yes, they have confirmed they have the compose button as I asked earlier in the thread.

Re: Compose button

Mimo — Sun, 16 Sep 2018 11:16:19 GMT

I do almost same as yours but when you click on yours it opens up a list of people and then top right corner you have the option to compose a message as where on the note 9 i don't. Saying that thou loving the note 9
