The apps
Messaging
also get the option to forward the message on to someone else or
lock it so it can’t be accidentally removed, which is great for tickets.
Attach photos and videos
M
essaging is often
j
ust about text, but it doesn’t
have to be. It is easy to attach a picture or video
to a text message, and in doing so convey so
much more. If you take a photo that you want
to share, start a text message and then hit the
attachment icon beside the typing area
–
it
looks like a paperclip. Now go to Images, then
Gallery and select the photo you want to
attach. It’ll be embedded within the body of the message, which is
upgraded from S
M
S to
MM
S, and you can send it when ready.

ueeze more onto the
screen at once.
Y
ou can also tell the handset to automatically delete
older messages if you get past the limit for messages in any one
text conversation. This helps you manage the storage memory of
your device automatically.
So as we have seen, texting on your Galaxy is a simple exercise
that will soon become as e
ff
ortless as breathing. Just take a few
moments to explore the range of options available and, once your
first text has been sent, you’ll be completely familiar with the setup
and the procedure.
