You might be familiar with this traditional way of keeping a diary but here’s how to do it within LifeTales

• On your mobile phone:
• Open the LifeTales App
• Click the + button you see on the right side
• Select “Write”
• Start writing. You can add style to your text if you select the options for Headline, bold, italic, etc.

Pro-Tip

If you’re the type of person who prefers to save scattered thoughts throughout the day, you can start a story with any of the options above, and then come back to it and add more information as many times as you’d like, just by pressing the + button. If you want to add a video, a voice note and/or a text within the same story, you can also do that, just as I did here.

I hope this helps and if you have any questions, please reach out. Happy journaling!
