Although many people are unaware of this feature, this little trick in the Photos app on iPhone revolutionizes the way we share photos with friends and send them in text messages. With a few simple steps, we can increase the convenience of using these features.
To try out this clever function, open the Photos app and go to Albums > Recently Added. Then select the thumbnail of the chosen photo and hold it until you see a slight movement. Now swipe the thumbnail sideways with your finger to move it across the screen.
This is where the magic happens: while still holding the first photo, use another finger to tap on other thumbnails. This way, all the selected photos will be added to a stack. Then swipe your finger up from the bottom edge of the screen and tap on the Messages app icon.
Now comes the easiest part – drop the stack of photos onto the chosen conversation thread in the Messages app. This will automatically populate the conversation bar with the selected photos, which you can send together with a comment or an emoji.
But that’s not the only useful tip discovered in a Reddit thread where this trick was described. Another user shared a great feature called “text replacement.” By setting up text replacements, you can save time by using shortcuts to input frequently used phrases or information. For example, you can set a shortcut like “@@” that will automatically switch to your email address.
To configure text replacement, go to Settings > General > Keyboard > Text Replacement. There, you can easily input your desired shortcuts and their corresponding replacements.
These iPhone tricks may be hidden treasures, but when you discover them, they can greatly simplify photo sharing and text messaging. Give them a try and see how they can make your life easier.
