How to Send Pictures and Live Photos in Text Messages on iPhone Air

Sending Photos via Messages on iPhone Air

• 💡 To add pictures to your text messages on iPhone Air, open the Messages app and either start a new message or open an existing conversation.
• ➕ You can attach a photo by tapping the plus icon and selecting 'Photos', or use the 'Camera' option to take a new photo.

Selecting and Approving Photos

• 🖼️ You can select up to 20 photos at once to send in a single message.
• ✅ After selecting photos, you can approve them to be attached to your message.

Understanding the Live Photo Option

• 🎬 The Live Photo icon in the top left corner of a photo indicates if it's a Live Photo, which records a short video clip (2 seconds before and 2 seconds after).
• 🚫 To send only a static photo frame instead of the Live Photo, tap the icon so it is crossed out. This ensures only the still image is sent.

Sending Your Message

• 💬 You can optionally add a comment or text to your message before sending.
• ➡️ Once ready, tap the send button to send the picture(s) to your recipient.
