If you've got an iPhone, iPod touch, or iPad running iOS 5 or higher you've got iMessage, Apple's free MMS-like service that works with any other iOS device, and Mac running OS X Mountain Lion, to let you easily send photos without paying your carrier for a special messaging plan (data rates will still apply if you aren't on Wi-Fi). iMessage is built right into the same Messages app and Share Sheet that sends SMS and MMS to your non-iPhone using friends, so you don't have to do anything extra to use it. Just pick your photos and send them!
How to send an iMessage photo using the iOS Messages app
- Launch the Messages app from the Home screen.
- Tap the New Message button in the upper right hand corner
- Choose the contact you'd like to send a video to.
- Tap the Camera button next to the message entry area.
- Select whether you'd like to take a photo now or choose an existing one.
- If you chose to send an existing photo, you'll be shown all the pictures and videos in your Photos app. Scroll through and find the photo you'd like to send. Tap on it to select it.
- Review the photo. If it's the one you want tap the blue Choose button in the lower right hand corner and it will be inserted into the message.
- Tap the Send button and you're done!
If you're using an iPhone but the person you're sending to doesn't have an Apple device or isn't using iMessage, your video will be sent as a regular MMS message. If that happens, it will appear in a green bubble instead of a blue one. This also means you'll be charged any applicable text message or multimedia message fees.
If you're sending a photo from your iPad or iPod touch, you won't be able to send an iMessage to anyone not using the service.
How to send a single iMessage photo using the iOS Photos app
- Launch the Photos app from your Home screen
- Find the photo you'd like to send and tap on it to select it.
- Tap on the Share button in the lower left hand corner.
- Select Message.
- The photo will be automatically inserted into a new message.
- Type the contact name or search for the contact you want to send to by tapping the blue "+" button.
- Tap the Send button and you're done!
How to send multiple iMessage photos using the iOS Photos app
- Launch the Photos app from your Home screen
- Tap the Share button in the upper right hand corner.
- Now select the photos you'd like to send by tapping on them. You'll see a red check appear next to them as you select them. To deselect one, just tap it again.
- Once you're done selecting the photos you'd like to send in an iMessage, tap the Share button in the bottom left. (If it is greyed out, it means you've selected too many photos to share at once. Try selecting fewer photos at a time.)
- Now choose Message when choosing what method you'd like to use to share them.
- The photos will auto-insert into a new message.
- Type the contact name or search for the contact you want to send to by tapping the blue "+" button.
- Tap the Send button and you're done!
How to send an iMessage photo from your Mac with OS X Mountain Lion
If you're on a Mac running OS X Mountain Lion, you can send photos just as easily as you can with iOS using iMessage. When sending from a Mac, you'll only be able to send photos to other users of iMessage so keep that in mind when you're choosing what contacts to send photos from your Mac to.
- Find the photo file you'd like to send to another iMessage contact. It can either be in iPhoto or any other folder saved on your Mac running OS X Mountain Lion.
- Launch the Messages app on your Mac. It looks like a pair of blue and white chat bubbles. By default it should be located in your dock.
- Choose the thread that you have going with that contact. If you don't already have one started, you can create a new iMessage thread with them.
- Now drag the photo you'd like to share with them into the area that you would normally type your regular message.
- The photo will insert by itself. Hit enter on your keyboard to send the file.
That's all there is to it. All of these methods will work when it comes to sharing photos from any iMessage enabled iPhone, iPad, iPod touch or Mac. So what are you waiting for? Start sharing those pictures!
