Sharing and Managing Photos and Videos

You can share photos and videos that you’ve saved on your device. You can also

manage them in different ways. For example, you can work with photos in batches,

delete photos, and link them to contacts. If you have lots of photos saved on your

device, it’s a good idea to routinely transfer them to a computer or to an external storage

device in order to avoid any inadvertent loss of data. Doing so also frees up more space

on your device. See

Managing Files Using a Computer

on the 43 page.

may not send if the file size is too large.
