how to add a text description to a photo on the phone

I just want to add text to describe a photo like "this is adilynn's birthday cake on june 14th" I'm a newbie and I do not know how to locate photo on the phone.

Hi,

Go into your Samsung Gallery App, select your picture and tap the pencil icon. In the bottom bar of options, scroll all the way to the left and tap the "T" icon for text. Then you can add a title.

Thanks for you reply.

I'm a newbie, so I may seem a bit dense.

The gallery shows an array of recent photos. Before I bring up the photo that I want, it shows 3 icons. One is for search. I don't know how to describe the other 2 icons. At the right of the 3 icons are the vertical 3 dots. I selected the one that I want to add the description to and then  did several more gestures that I have now forgotten but it did give me the opportunity to add a title and a description. I did that and saved it. I bring it back up and the title and description are there, but the description is in a tiny font, way to small to read.

I appreciate you getting me this far, but if you can help me further:1)  take a guess at what the several more gestures that I have now forgotten were;2) explain whether I can change the text font.

I'm using a Samsung Note10+ phone and I think the Gallery app is the one that was pre-loaded.

Both JoshQ's post and yours resolved my issue, but apparently I can't accept more than one. I will LIKE yours and, if you can tell me how, I will "Accept as Solution."

thanks. Phil.

Go to gallery. click on the picture you want to add text to. click on the pencil icon at bottom of photo to edit it. Then slide the bottom icons to the left. Click on the letter "T". Now you can add text. I hope this helps.

You must be on the Pictures tab. At the top would be the Group Similar and Create Movie icons. Just a tip, if you long press on an icon it will tell you what it is. After adding your description and title, you probably pressed back and save. If you go back to the picture you want to edit, follow the same steps to get back to the title and text, type what you want and try to pinch and zoom and move it around. That should allow you to make it bigger or smaller and place it where you want.
