Sending pics taken by iphone

I'm trying to find out if when you take a picture with an iphone in order to send it, do you send it as an e-mail attachment and therefore the only way for the receiving person to view it is through e-mail on their phone? Or can you send it from your cell phone to another person's cell phone without going through e-mail? Sorry if this is a lame question but I am sooooo not computer/technology savvy!!
Thanks!!

Sending a photo via a text message is called MMS. Texting only with no attachment is called SMS.
The iPhone supports SMS, but not MMS.
The only way to send a photo from your iPhone is via email.
You can send an email to be received on someone's phone as an MMS if you know the recipient's cell phone email address for MMS. SMS and MMS are basically and for all practical purposes very limited forms of email exchange. There is a very low limit for the message size when sending an MMS, and there is character limit for text with SMS.

  • HT203040 Pics taken by iPhone 6 with flash in dark is not good

    Hi,
    I am attaching a pic taken in the dark with iPhone 6 with flash but it's  disappointed me
    its picture quality is worst then any camera with 5 mega pixel cam with flash.I think iPhone 6 should not be use with flash

    Do you have a case on the iPhone that covers the flash? Light from the flash could be leaking under the case causing this. It could also be caused by a dirty lens.

  • Iphone 4s wont send pics to non iPhone users

    tried everything. contacted Apple. still can't get it to work. Any help would be appreciated.

        Hi Jannwj, I am sorry you are having issues with not being able to send pictures to non iPhone users from your iPhone 4S! I realize you said everything was tried! However, more specifics would be appreciated. I like to suggest for you to check on something! Is the most reset software version on your iPhone 4S? If you have not checked this, give the update a chance to help resolve the issue. Use this link to the update and following all the steps with backing up your data http://bit.ly/RA0BTg. Also, go into your settings>messages and turn MMS on. If it is already on, try doing a soft reset and retry sending the picture message. I trust this helps!

  • IPhone 4 wont send pics to non iPhone users

    My daughter and I both purchased the iPhone 4 (brand new!) yesterday. Mine is working GREAT. Hers is having issues. Most issues were resolved when we removed "restrictions" but she still is un-able to send pictures to non-iPhone users, yet I have full ability to do so. Any answers? Verizon said we needed to talk to Apple before they would replace.
    Thanks.

    Check Settings>Messages to be sure MMS Messaging is set to On.

  • TS2755 Can't send pics from my iPhone 5 picture application--T-Mobile provider

    I can send pictures by attaching them to a message within mail.  But when I go to my camera roll or picture library and select one or more than one pic it makes the "swoosh" sound as if emailing but nothing is ever sent.  Running iOS 6.1.4  iPhone is a little more than 24 hours new!

    Nevermind all, I simply rebooted the phone and voila--everything works fine now!

  • Is there an easier way to move pics taken on iPhone 3G to Album on iPhone?

    So, is there no quick way to put the Camera Roll pictures into an album on the iPhone 3g?
    Here is how I do it now:
    1) Click on an image in Camera Roll
    2) Send it to Mobile Me in an album I named Camera Roll
    3) Then download from Mobile Me to my PC
    4) Then put in the folders I am syncing via iTunes.
    5) Then sync iTunes.
    Not every intuitive at all.
    Am I missing something?
    Is there a way to move pictures from the "Camera Roll" on the iPhone itself?
    Thanks again.

    Yeah, it's all pretty stunted right now. It's been driving me bonkers. I'm looking for a good geotagging solution and all the 3rd party programs are crap and the possibility of MobileMe is just too hampered by limitations.

  • How do I find pics taken with iPhone?

    I am pleased with the quality of pics the iPhone 4 is taking. BUT I cannot figure out how to get them onto my computer?
    When I SYnc, I cannot find where they are going? I do not see anything on my computer called Camear Roll, which is where they are on the iPhone.
    And if I try to import using some program, my iPhone disconnects too fast when I plug it in to the computer to be able to download. It SYncs, then disconnects.
    I'm sure there's an easy way to do this that I am missing.
    Thanks

    Actually, the question is a good one now. That WAS true, but now apple has changed something. We have three iPhones in the house. A 3G, 3Gs, and a 4, and they're all having this problem. When we plug them into PCs, iTunes opens and we don't get the standard options window, so actually, there's no way to do this now.
    So I second the question. I'm just over 30 days and you've changed the way this has always worked. How do we do this now? Do I really have to email myself all the photos I want? That's pretty impractical.

  • Can't send pics to non iPhone users

    Hi new to apple have new phone t mobile as carrier. Can't send photos in messages to non iPhone users which is most of my friends. Please advise

    Unless your friends are using an iOS device with an active iMessage account set up on it, you can only use regular SMS texting and MMS through your cell service provider.
    In your message settings, you will need to have "send as sms" enabled, and have the slider for SMS/MMS set to "ON".  If it still does not work, then you need to contact T-Mobile and tell them your MMS service does not seem to be functioning properly.

  • Pics taken in iphone retain gps info?

    Hi-just became an owner of my first iPhone, a 4S. I am wondering if the pictures I take with it retain the gps coordinates when I upload the photos to iPhoto... And in iPhoto that info shows up as Places. I was told at the Apple Store yes but I wanted to get confirmation of that. Thanks! Judy

    Yes, if Location Services is turned on for Camera.
    See p. 75 of the User Guide.

  • Sending Pics Mobile To Mobile

    How do I send pics from my iphone(3g) to another mobile phone number without using email.

    MMS on AT&T yes counts towards a SMS sent, but ALSO it counts as "data usage". Many users before getting an iPhone (or those that just had basic phones and never cared about browsing the web etc) never set up a good data plan. Most (like me) went with the cheapest one available. It was literally x amount of money for KB a month, yes KB, not MB. So a couple cell camera shots sent via MMS will kill up that usages and then yes you get charged for every KB sent. Some had better plans but if were addicted to MMS, they would go over as well.
    But since the iPHone does force an unlimited plan (here in US) then no Apple is not saving us anything by not having MMS. Though I never cared for it anyhow as MMS was a workaround since cell carriers and phones were not able to get email working over the network very well yet so they made their own way to send pics or sounds and were happy to charge you for it. And not all carriers and cells agree to same MMS rules. Some phones can only accept certain types of sounds. Some cannot accept pics too large. I don't know how many times I could not send a pic or vid or sound to a friend here or a friend there due to either their carrier or their cell. And same the other way around. eMail is so much better since it is a standard. MMS just needs to die. Pretty much any phone today can do email just a pain to setup and points to why the iPhone is so easy to use.
