Once you’ve opened your email app, tap on the "Compose" button in the top right corner of the screen. This button is represented by a pencil icon.
- The "Compose" button is usually represented by a small text field and a pencil icon.
- This is where you’ll start writing your email. Make sure to type in your email address, subject, and body.
Step 3: Type in Your Email Address and Subject
Before you start typing in your email, take a moment to think about what you want to say in your email. Here are some tips to help you type more efficiently:
