How do I send a message in the Student app on my Android device?
You can send messages to people in your courses using your Android device.
The images in this lesson are shown for a phone display, but unless otherwise noted, tablet displays mirror the same steps.
Select Course
Tap the Select a course menu [1]. Then select the course or group for your message [2].
Search by Course Filter
To search by filter, tap the Add icon.
View User Roles
To search by course filter, select users by group.
To select users in a group, tap the recipient's user group.
Send Message
In the Subject field [1], enter a subject for your message.
If you want to send individual messages to each recipient, tap the Send individual message to each recipient toggle [2].
In the message field [3], type your message.
If you want to add an attachment to your message, tap the attachment icon [4].
When you are ready to send your message, tap the Send icon [5].
Note: New messages will not appear in the Inbox on the Canvas app until there is a reply to the message. However, if you have an existing Inbox message with a recipient, the message will appear as part of that message thread.
