How to Text a Photo

My mom and I are pretty close. My siblings are much older (I like to remind them) so Mom and I got a lot of hang time when I was little. I always enjoyed encouraging her to play on computers and smartphones are no different.

Here, we practice texting a photo on an iPhone. Never gets old.

To text a photo:

1. Open the Camera app 📷

2. Point your camera (on the back of your phone) at your subject.

3. Tap the white circle on your iPhone to snap a photo.

4. Then tap the tiny photo in the lower left corner of your screen

5. Tap the photo at its center, you'll see an up-pointing arrow and box in the lower left.

6. Tap that arrow. Share options will pop up. Choose Messages.

7. The picture will be pre-filled in a text message.

Questions? Watch the video. It's more fun!
