To add a message recipient, first select a course [1]. In the Subject field, enter the message topic [2]. In the Compose Message field [3], type your message. When you are ready to send your message, tap the Send icon [4].
Note: New messages will not appear in the Inbox on the Canvas Student app until there is a reply to the message, but you can view the message in your Sent folder. However, if you have an existing Inbox message with a recipient, the message will appear as part of the Inbox message thread.
