Sending pix and vids in a message
To send a picture or video in a message, follow the instructions for sending a text message and then
tap the Camera icon to the left of the text-entry field at the bottom of the screen. You'll then have the
option of using an existing picture or video or taking a new one. You can also add text to photos or
videos. When you're finished, tap the Send button.
If you receive a picture or video in a message, it appears in a bubble just like text, as shown in Fig-
ure 5-16 . Tap it to see it full-screen.
Once full-screen, tap the Action button in the upper-right corner for additional options, such as shar-
ing the image on Facebook or Twitter, assigning it to a contact, or more. If you don't see the icon,
tap the picture or video once and the icon will magically appear.
