Does anyone else use the Notes app to rehearse a message you are about to send to someone?

Yessss. I thought I was the only one lol

I send myself a text, edit as needed, copy/paste.

Absolutely. And I use desktop sticky notes to compose a message before even opening my email on PC.

I use an email draft instead.

It depends. Sometimes for work texts, I will. Most of the time though, I won't.

Yeah, a lot, it’s just easier to reread and type without worrying they’ve seen you’re typing lol

Yess but then I end up forgetting to reply lol

Only when I was trying to craft the perfect text to respond to my toxic af ex wife. I've cut contact, so not anymore.

I used to write angry tweets and save them as drafts until I calmed down, everyday got out the habit of even bothering

I use the notes app for everything: shopping lists, email proofreading, haiku…

I’ve done it - soMetimes while I research something, or need to calm down, or just don’t want to forget something - sometimes they get sent, sometimes they don’t.

I do it like that. Part of it is to avoid irritating the reciever with the three blinking dots until I'm done writing.

OMG I totally get this! I do the exact same thing with my Notes app. It's like my pre-conversation practice zone before hitting send. Better safe than sorry when it comes to accidental texts, right?

if the text is sensitive in anyway i write and edit it in Notes. i also lock any that are personal

Not me. If anything I want to say is that complicated then I just call or talk to them in person. You lose so much context, tone of voice, non-verbal communication, etc in a text. No matter how much you rehearse/rewrite it it's still not going to be good. Then there's the large percentage of people who don't scrutinize every text who will write back in 5 seconds. You gonna spend another 10 minutes drafting a response to them just for them to respond in 5 seconds again? It's a waste of time and will always lead to misunderstanding. Just. Talk. To. People

If it is a longer text and/or a thoughtful text I do. Mainly because I type a little fast sometimes and Autocorrect and I don’t really get along so I have to go back and fix a lot of words I wish it had just left misspelled. But made the mistake of turning it off and that was actually worse. So I just deal with the hate lol 😂

I do this all the time, especially for texts to people I'm anxious about or trying to keep things casual with. It's wild how much of a difference rewording something a few times makes—like what you write in that first draft is almost never what actually gets sent.

I believe this is a lovely idea!

Absolutely

I use it every day of my life haha

No, I simply rewrite it 16,000 times.

If it gets too long, I just screenshot the whole page and send that to them instead.

Yes, I do that all the time, I use the notes app to write the first draft of my message and then edit it out before copying and pasting it onto the desired messaging platform.

My notes app has everything hahaha

Yeah I do this. Mostly just so they don't see the typing dots while I figure out what to say.

Yesssss I will legit copy paste their message, break it down into parts, type out each individual reply for that specific break; then strain it all together.

What works for you is what you show stick with. I use something else but it's not an app. Its a pen and spiral.

Text draft, but same deal

Yes llol

aqui no Brasil usam isso para burlarem restrição de uso de celulares em prisão domiciliar edite o texto no bloco de notas em um dispositivo sem conexão para não rastreado mande para um impresso por bluetooth e imprima depois mande um mensageiro leva os papéis para a casa de um amigo ou vizinho esse amigo ou vizinho irá fotografar a mensagem e enviar para um contato indicado pelo preso em regime domiciliar jamais use um dispositivo de um familiar que esteja dentro da residência , pode estar sendo monitorado também

Yes, I made a message just today to a business, and made it in Notes first.

Did it once when I was sending an apology text to my wife hahaha

I use notes for many things

I do this every time too😂😊

I still do this,cant afford mistakes🤭😂💅
