spikey Posted January 9, 2020 Share Posted January 9, 2020 Following the sad demise of my long-suffering £14 Nokia mobile with its multi-sectioned screen and added SpikeyMatic Non-Slip Grip System (the red Royal Mail rubber band wrapped twice round it), I have succumbed to persuasion and acquired My First Smartphone (a Motorola G7 Power, since you asked). All is well, considering, so far, but I am concerned about a potential operational problem. If whilst out and about I have a need to take a snap of something and wish to send it back to base, how might I do that when Mrs Spikey does not (yet) have a smartphone of her own? All I can think of is to attach it to an email and send that, then phone her and urge her to strike up the laptop. But is it even possible to attach a picture to an email sent from an Android phone? Is there another way of achieving the objective? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

When you view the photo there's a 'share' button which lets you share via a variety of methods. One of which is email. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
spikey Posted January 9, 2020 Author Share Posted January 9, 2020 Ahah! Much obliged to you, sir. I could see that getting complicated, so am greatly relieved to know that it won't be. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold Jonboy Posted January 21, 2020 RMweb Gold Share Posted January 21, 2020 Something to be aware of is that sharing via picture message/text will cost around 45p on many tariffs (pay as you go and some contracts). Sending via email as above (or messaging apps such as Facebook messenger or WhatsApp for example) will cost a lot less as it goes as mobile data (or free if connected to WiFi). this is just something to be aware of if Mrs Spikey or other friends or family get/have smartphones. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
montyburns56 Posted January 22, 2020 Share Posted January 22, 2020 You can set up the phone so that it automatically uploads the pictures to your Google Photos account where you can view/download them on a PC. https://support.google.com/photos/answer/6193313?co=GENIE.Platform%3DAndroid&hl=en Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
