You are watching VisiHow. Today, we are going to teach you how to access and use the Memo function on your Samsung Galaxy S5 smartphone or your S5 Mini, or Mini Duos. To start off, start by tapping the power button. One time on the right side of your phone.

1. 1
   This should bring up your locked screen, which will prompt you to swipe across the screen, or enter pass-code or PIN or another method of unlocking

   .

   I'm swiping because that's the method I have set up. This should take you directly to you home screen.

2. 2
   Once you are on your home screen, you're going to want to find the applications button icon, which is down at the bottom right-hand side

   .

   This icon will take you to the applications folder. Just tap it one time.

3. 3
   That will open up the application folder

   .

   What we're looking for is what looks like a little notepad icon. You may have to scroll around to find it depending on how much in your system, or how much you've modified the system. When you do find the memo icon, just give it one tap.

   Was this step helpful? Yes | No| I need help
4. 4
   That's going to open up the memo application

   .

   As you can see, there are no memos here. However, I can create a memo, simply by pressing the plus button.

   Was this step helpful? Yes | No| I need help
5. 5
   One press on the plus button creates a memo

   .

   I can add a memo. So let's say Hello, for example. I can enter a title. Our title will be "Hi 1".

   Was this step helpful? Yes | No| I need help
6. 6
   Now I can save this memo

   .

   Was this step helpful? Yes | No| I need help
7. 7
   And I've saved the Hi 1 memo

   .

   I can now add another memo by pressing the plus button. We'll call this memo "Voice 1" and now instead of writing something, I can press this button.

   Was this step helpful? Yes | No| I need help
8. 8
   And I can begin recording a voice memo

   .

   I can say "This is a test voice memo which I am recording because I like to record voice memos and make great tutorials". Now I'm going to press the stop button.

   Was this step helpful? Yes | No| I need help
9. 9
   I now have the voice memo

   .

   I can also add a picture if I would like to take a photo or an image.

   Was this step helpful? Yes | No| I need help
10. 10
    Or, if I don't want to take a photo image, just tap the screen to back out of that

    .

    Was this step helpful? Yes | No| I need help
11. 11
    Now I also have, as you can see at the bottom, my 8-second voice memo

    .

    Was this step helpful? Yes | No| I need help
12. 12
    I can tap Text if I would like

    .

    Was this step helpful? Yes | No| I need help
13. 13
    I can just type in Hello, for example

    .

    I further have additional options here where I can add a category.

    Was this step helpful? Yes | No| I need help
14. 14
    Now I'm going to tap to go back

    .

    I have my voice memo down here. I can press X to delete that if I would like to delete it.

    Was this step helpful? Yes | No| I need help
15. 15
    I'm going to tap Save to save the voice memo

    .

    Was this step helpful? Yes | No| I need help
16. 16
    As you can see now, I have two memos, however, my phone is still reading none here

    .

    The reason it reads none is because this is the category of none. If I want to change the name of this category, then I'm going to have to manage categories. Managing categories is done by tapping the memo bar there.

    Was this step helpful? Yes | No| I need help
17. 17
    And then tapping manage categories

    .

    Was this step helpful? Yes | No| I need help
18. 18
    I tap on the plus sign to add a category

    .

    Was this step helpful? Yes | No| I need help
19. 19
    And I can add the category of, for example, voice

    .

    Was this step helpful? Yes | No| I need help
20. 20
    And I can now add another category, and I can name that category Text

    .

    Now I have two categories. If I tap on the voice category, there's nothing there, if I'd like to delete one of them, I simply press on the minus sign, and they ask do you want to delete it, and I can answer OK.

    Was this step helpful? Yes | No| I need help
21. 21
    Now that I've created my voice category, we can go back and add something to it

    .

    To add something to it, I'm going to tap the memo button, then I'm going to tap on my category none.

    Was this step helpful? Yes | No| I need help
22. 22
    Once I've tapped on my category none, when I tap into the memo itself, I get a little menu which pops up here

    .

    Was this step helpful? Yes | No| I need help
23. 23
    I can then just tap on the voice category

    .

    Was this step helpful? Yes | No| I need help
24. 24
    Now if I save my memo, it is saved to the voice category, as you can see when I tap on voice

    .

    Was this step helpful? Yes | No| I need help
25. 25
    If I would like to delete the memo, I can simply hit delete

    .

    Was this step helpful? Yes | No| I need help
26. 26
    If I would prefer not to delete it, tapping back takes me out of it

    .

    I can instead go here, and I can rename the category.

    Was this step helpful? Yes | No| I need help
27. 27
    To something entirely different

    .

    Let's cancel that. When I'm in a memo, I can share this memo.

    Was this step helpful? Yes | No| I need help
28. 28
    Or print them

    .

    So I can share this memo and I will have a number of different options that will allow me to share it.

    Was this step helpful? Yes | No| I need help
29. 29
    WiFi, Bluetooth, Google, etc, etc, down a very long list of different and unique applications

    .

    So I could tap WiFi, I could tap Bluetooth, I could tap Google, however, we're not going to be sharing this memo, so there's no need to do that.

    Was this step helpful? Yes | No| I need help
30. 30
    Now, again, I can save my memo

    .

    Was this step helpful? Yes | No| I need help
31. 31
    I can go back to All which will show me all of my categories

    .

    Was this step helpful? Yes | No| I need help

I tried several ways, none worked so far, I saw your video and thought you could help.

how to "edit" an existing memo?

I can't seem to see a way to EDIT an existing memo, why would we have to DELETE an entire memo just to edit something in it?

Tap on the location within the memo. You can also double-tap on the location to select a word. A blue handlebar will appear. This will enable editing. Tap and drag the handlebar ends to select more text to edit. Alternatively, tap on "Select All". With the text selected, you can either type text or tap on "Cut", for example.
