Send one photograph, not the whole album
Pick exactly the pictures you mean, send those, and be sure that nothing else went with them.
The word share worries people, because it sounds like opening a door. What it actually does is make a copy of one picture and hand the copy to whoever you name.
Key points
- Use Select to check exactly the pictures you mean
- Share those, knowing the originals stay on your phone
- Make a shared album when there are too many to send
- Close a shared album down again with Stop sharing
What to remember
- Select, check, Share. The check mark is the part that stops the whole album going.
- Sharing a photograph is copying it. The one on your phone is untouched.
- A shared album can be switched off later, which is what makes it safe to use.
Try this
Open any day in your own Photos, press Select, and check two pictures. Then press Cancel rather than sending them. Doing it once with nothing at stake takes all the nerves out of it.
