Question

How can I send a message to a contact?

Community Answer

Select the contact, then there should be some separate options that include a phone, speech bubble, and a camera. To send a message from an iPad without cellular data, the receiver has to have iMessage. If the iPad has cellular data, you can send messages to iMessage addresses or phone numbers. After that has been cleared up, tap the speech bubble and it will display the messaging app with the contact's name in the top box. You can then type your message in the bottom text box and then hit send.
