Within the Memo Content field you can format rich messages here. You can select different options including: headers, fonts, bold, italicize, numbered & bulleted lists as well as the option to insert images and links. You may also center, left or right align your content.
Once you have crafted the content for your memo, tap Create Memo.
The Memo will populate in your Message as a link - tap Send when you're ready!
The Memo will appear to your recipients as links - when they receive the message, they will tap the link to view the Memo in their mobile browser:
