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 39 page.
You might not be able to copy, send, or transfer copyright-protected items. Also, some items
may not send if the file size is too large.
