About a week ago Matt said that he didn’t like the interface for sending photos from his new iPod touch. This was his first iOS 4 device, and he had multiple images he wanted to send and was sending them individually.
One great feature some of you might not know about the Photos app is that it will allow you to send multiple photos in an email or MMS message, or print multiple images in one go (please note you’ll need an AirPrint compatible printer to be able to print them).
Here’s how to do it:
- Tap on the Photos app and select the album you need, or your Camera Roll.
- Tap the “Share” icon in the upper right corner (the one that looks like a box with an arrow coming out of it).
- Select as many items as you wish to send or print. A red check mark will appear on the selected items.
- Tap on the “Share” button (or “Print” if you wish to print the images) on the lower left corner of the screen.
- If you are emailing the images, a new email will open for you with all of your images attached. Simply enter the recipient’s email address, subject, a message if you’d like, and press send. You will then be asked if you’d like to resize the images to reduce the size of the email (remember, photos can be a few megabytes) before you send. I generally select “Medium” but feel free to play around with it and decide which size is best for your needs.
