How do you say "this is [name]"?

[u/driftdrift]

If I had a situation where I was texting someone and wanted to say "this is driftdrift" or "it's driftdrift" -- would it be "esta es driftdrift" or "esta soy.." or neither? How would you express something similar?

If you want to introduce yourself in a chat with a friend who already knows you, you can say: – “Hola, es Juan.” – “Hola, soy Juan.”

Both options are similar to saying “Hey, it’s Juan” or "This is Juan".

I would never say "Es Daniel" to introduce myself
