* Occasional posts will contain how-tos and/or hints for VERY new users of iPads, iPhones or Kindles. All new users welcome! Non-tech speak, not terribly detailed, just basic device-enhancing goodness. All part of this Very Beginner Series.
Please share with any beginners (Mom? Dad? Grandma?) in your life.*
The other evening I was having dinner with a friend, a new iPhone user, and she wanted to show me a few pictures …. but she had to find them first. These photos had been sent to her in text messages, and she was going back through the messages to find the photos.
And so, as I watched her scroll back through her messages, the blogging bell went off in my head. “This should be a beginner post!” So here we go.
Here is how you save a photo that you receive in a text message:
Tap on the photo or the arrow area to make the photo larger.
Once you see the larger photo, tap the action arrow up at the top of the phone.
A new screen will pop up with all sorts of choices. Select “save to camera roll”.
That’s all there is.
Now when you want to look back at the photos that you received, just go to your Photos app (the sunflower) and select “camera roll”. The newly saved photos will be there at the end of the photo page.

/ February 20, 2013With phones changing as much and as quickly as they do, I think the “beginners” stuff is always necessary. I keep changing the phone I’m using and need to start from scratch with each one.

/ February 20, 2013You are so right. And I’m so lazy, I don’t know that I’ll ever change, because it would be too much trouble to learn so much all over again.

(I would have no idea what to do with a Blackberry!)
