The Simple iPhone Hack To Share Photos You Probably Didn't Know About
By KAYLA DUBE
Sending photos to friends or family is a great way to share memories, and the typical route of doing this over iMessage on iPhone involves looking through your photo gallery to find the picture in the app itself. However, there's an easier way to do this if you already have the photo open in your photo gallery or somewhere else, such as in the Notes app.
Using three fingers, make a quick pinching motion inward on the image. You should see the word "Copy" at the top of the screen if the photo was successfully copied to your clipboard. Next, you'll want to open iMessage and the chat in which you want to send your photo. From there, tap on the text field to prompt the menu to appear.
You'll see a "Paste" option in that menu; tap it, and the image will automatically be pasted into the message draft. Now, rinse and repeat for any photos you want to send quickly! This same trick can also be done in the Notes app and the Mail app. You can also use it anywhere there is a field to add text. Try the trick for yourself next time you want to send a photo.
