   Open the conversation you would like to send a message in. If you already have one open, then select that.

   • If you don't have a conversation started already, select New Message. From there, you can do a few different things.
     • Select Add Contact to select someone from the list of contacts. [1]

   • Record a voice message. To do this, select the Microphone icon and use your voice to send a message. Make your voice clear, so the person you are texting can understand what you are saying.
   • Type a message. To do this, use your finger to click on the letters and type your text. If you have anything besides the Apple Watch 7, though, you will have to draw your message.

   Tell Siri what your message is. She will then send that message to the person you told her to text.
