How to Share a Photo

Look at your iPhone's home screen — the main screen you see when you pick it up.

Find the app that looks like a colorful flower with petals. That is your Photos app. Give it one tap to open it.

Once Photos opens, you'll see all your pictures laid out like a photo album. Scroll up and down to look through them.

Look at the top right corner of your screen — you'll see the word Select. Tap that first.

Now tap the photo you want to

Look at the very bottom of your screen. On the left side you'll see this button — a little box with an arrow coming up out of the top of it. That is your Share button. Tap it.

After you tap Share, a menu slides up from the bottom of your screen.

At the very top you'll see small round pictures of people you text often. If you see the person you want to send to, just tap their picture — your phone will open a text to them right away!

If they're not shown up to

Here's something most people don't know. If you're already inside a text conversation and someone asks for a photo, you don't have to go all the way back to your Photos app first.

Look at the bottom of the conversation, right next to where you type. Tap the little 💛 When is this handy?Your daughter texts "Can you send me that photo from Sunday?" You can reply with the picture right there in the same conversation — no switching apps, no extra steps!
