Where is the coloring feature on my Note 8?

[Saej87]

I just got my Note 8. One of the features is missing from my phone but present on 3 of my friends phones.

When you take out the S Pen and the menu appears, you scroll down to the button to add more shortcuts. It then gives you the option to add coloring (essentially a coloring book).

Except mine simply doesn't have that. I've factory reset the phone and that didn't solve it. I have the companion app Pen.up but no S Pen option.

Any ideas?

So, your friends have an app called "coloring?"

Have your friends downloaded a coloring book app.

 

[marmitenot]

I've googled it, and in the screen grabs there is an app you can add to the S Pen shortcuts called "Coloring." I don't have that option on my phone either.

When you pull out the s pen click on add shortcuts and then add it to the wheel.

I just looked at adding a shortcut and I do see it! It adds PenUp, and gives you a bunch of blank coloring pages. Kinda cool!

I opened the S Pen and touched the 'Add shortcuts' circle then added ''Coloring', like you said. It worked...does the carrier make a difference? I have Tmobile.

Thanks for the tip, I hope that you get it worked out.

The option of "Coloring" simply isn't available to add to the wheel. It isn't there.

Perhaps the carrier does make a difference, but at this point who knows. I am with Verizon.

I have the coloring option. I'm with Sprint.

I'm with Verizon, I don't see it either. Maybe Verizon has a paid coloring app they want us to pay for.

 

[Miscue]

I'm with Verizon and I have it. I haven't paid extra for it.

I hate AT&T and it's there on mine.

To those who don't have it, did you uninstall PenUp? The coloring option brings you to that app. I have Verizon and I've used it for the past few days

 

[sistasweetpea]

It's greyed out for me because I already have it on my wheel

You simply have to add PENUP to the wheel and that's how you get the coloring

 

[marmitenot]

I have PENUP, so that's simply not the answer.

Thanks

Just checked and I have penup
