A phone combines a camera, keyboard, communication tool and file collection. Learn how those parts connect by completing a simple task from start to finish, such as sharing a non-sensitive photo with someone you know.
Prepare what you will share
Take a clear picture of an ordinary object. Check the background for personal information. Open the image and confirm it is the one you intend to use rather than selecting from tiny thumbnails in a hurry.
Choose the route and recipient
Select an appropriate sharing method already available on your device. Check the recipient’s name and conversation carefully. If the app asks for a permission, read what it means before accepting.
Check the result
Look for the image in the intended conversation. Understand that a sent indicator and a read indicator can mean different things. Avoid repeatedly sending the same item just because the other person has not answered immediately.
Try this yourself
Share one harmless photo, then find the original in your phone’s photo collection.
Check your understanding
Can you repeat the task without losing track of the image or choosing the wrong recipient?
