How to Use Writing Assist AI on Galaxy S24

Writing Assist AI on the Samsung Galaxy S24 helps you compose and refine messages in Samsung Keyboard, Messages, and many other apps. It can rewrite your text in different tones, fix grammar, translate, and summarize. This guide walks you through enabling it and using it step by step.

What You’ll Need

• A Samsung Galaxy S24, S24+, or S24 Ultra
• One UI 6.1 or later (most devices have this out of the box)
• Samsung Keyboard set as your default keyboard
• An internet connection for most AI features (some on-device features may work offline)
• A Samsung account (for some cloud-based features)

Step-by-Step

1. Open any text field – Start a new message in Samsung Messages, WhatsApp, or any app where you want to use Writing Assist.
2. Make sure Samsung Keyboard is active – If you see a different keyboard, tap and hold the spacebar or swipe down from the top and select “Samsung Keyboard” from the notification.
3. Tap the Writing Assist icon – Look for the sparkle or magic wand icon (✨) on the keyboard’s toolbar. It’s usually above the number row, near the top right. If you don’t see it, tap the three-dot menu (⋮) on the toolbar and drag it into the toolbar.
4. Choose a feature – After tapping the icon, a menu appears with options like:
   • Rewrite – Change the tone or style of your text.
   • Grammar – Fix spelling and grammar errors.
   • Translate – Translate your text into another language.
   • Summarize – Create a short version of your text.
   • Format – Turn text into a bulleted list or paragraphs.
5. Select text (optional) – If you want to edit only part of your message, highlight that text before tapping the Writing Assist icon. Otherwise, it will process the entire message.
6. Tap your chosen option – For example, tap “Rewrite” to see different versions of your text.
7. Review the suggestions – Writing Assist shows one or more rewritten versions. Swipe through them or tap the arrows to see alternatives.
8. Choose a version – Tap “Copy” or “Insert” on the version you like. It will replace your original text (or the selected portion).
9. Edit further if needed – You can make manual edits after inserting. The AI is a starting point, not a final draft.
10. Send your message – Once you’re happy, hit send as usual.

Common Mistakes

• Not selecting text first – If you only want to rewrite one sentence, highlight it first. Otherwise, the AI rewrites the whole message, which may change meaning.
• Expecting offline use – Most Writing Assist features need an internet connection. If you’re offline, the icon may be grayed out or show an error.
• Using it in unsupported apps – Some third-party apps may not integrate with Writing Assist. If the icon doesn’t appear, try a different app or use Samsung Messages.
• Ignoring the tone options – When rewriting, you can choose tones like “Professional” or “Friendly.” Not using these can give you a generic result.
• Not checking the output – AI can make mistakes, especially with names, numbers, or context. Always read the rewritten text before sending.

Tips

• Customize the toolbar – If the Writing Assist icon is missing, go to Samsung Keyboard settings > “Toolbar” and add it. You can also reorder icons for quick access.
• Use the “Tone” feature for different audiences – For work emails, choose “Professional.” For friends, “Friendly” or “Casual” works better.
• Combine with other keyboard features – Use Writing Assist after using voice-to-text to quickly polish your dictation.
• Translate before sending – If you’re messaging someone in another language, type in your language, then use “Translate” to convert it.
• Keep your text short – Writing Assist works best with shorter messages. Very long paragraphs may lose context.
• Update your phone – Samsung regularly improves AI features. Check for software updates in Settings > Software update.

Troubleshooting

• Writing Assist icon not showing –
  • Open Samsung Keyboard settings (tap the gear icon on the keyboard or go to Settings > General management > Samsung Keyboard settings).
  • Tap “Toolbar” and make sure “Writing Assist” is toggled on.
  • If it’s still missing, restart your phone.
• Feature not working or grayed out –
  • Check your internet connection. Writing Assist needs a stable connection.
  • Make sure your text is not empty. Select at least a few words.
  • Try in a different app to see if the issue is app-specific.
• AI suggestions are poor or irrelevant –
  • Make sure your original text is clear and grammatically correct. Garbage in, garbage out.
  • Try selecting a different tone in the Rewrite menu.
  • If the text is very long, break it into shorter paragraphs and process each one separately.
• Translation is wrong –
  • Double-check the target language in the translation settings.
  • For better results, use simple, direct sentences.
• Phone is slow when using Writing Assist –
  • Close background apps to free up memory.
  • If it persists, restart your phone.
