+
+##### How to Use
+
+Go to the page, input a message with special text, and send the message. The text in the chat list is automatically identified and marked with special text. Currently, the following types of text can be recognized: phone number, link, email address, and address. The recognized text will turn blue and be underlined.

+```
+
+### How to Implement
+
+1. Use the **enableDataDetector** attribute of the Text component to recognize specific text.
+
+2. Use the **dataDetectorConfig** attribute of the Text component to set the types that can be recognized.
+
+### Required Permissions
+
+N/A
+
+### Constraints

+1. The sample app is supported only on Huawei phones running the standard system.
+
+2. The HarmonyOS version must be HarmonyOS NEXT Developer Beta1 or later.
+
+3. The DevEco Studio version must be DevEco Studio NEXT Developer Beta1 or later.
+
+4. The HarmonyOS SDK version must be HarmonyOS NEXT Developer Beta1 or later.
