Context Toolbar for Centering Text

[FractalRock]

Hi,

I just bought Affinity Photo for the iPad.  I want to make something that uses text, and I'm trying to center it, but there is not a context toolbar for me to do so.  I'm looking at the bottom of the screen where the context toolbar is for other tools, but there isn't a way to center things here.  Forgive me if this has already been answered on this forum.  I tried to do a search on the forum but I could not find the answer.  Can someone tell me how to do this?  Thanks.

Hi @FractalRock welcome to the forums,

If you're looking to centre text/an object on the centre of your canvas, one way to achieve this is to use the alignment options which are available in the Transform panel, there is a setting for align middle/centre both horizontally and vertically. I've linked the help guides below for reference.
