Hi, and welcome.

Assuming you're using one of the desktop versions of Affinity Photo or Affinity Designer, and have the standard configuration, look in the column of tools on the left side of the screen. There are two text tools sharing one icon near the bottom of the column of tools. It will show A for the Artistic Text tool, or T for the Text Frame tool. There's a white triangle at the bottom that you can use to select the other tool if the one that's currently there isn't the one you want.

This is what it looks like, down the bottom of the Tool panel.

. The same tool does frame text or artistic text. If you click on it, a menu pops-out to select the option you want.
