Good day everyone,

Thank you for your guidance & advice in advance...

Cheers!

Hi, try this first before searching for apps .... In messaging app, long press the 'Write message' area, there will be a popup, select Input Method, then Chinese Keyboard.

For info, was tempting you to find out yourself.

Great! You learnt something new today. Remember, curiousity killed the cat (good thing you are not a cat)

Anyway, I guess you have changed it back to English. If not, you should know where to ask. :smileymischief:

Did you encounter an error message that made you post the reply multiple times?
