Have you noticed something different about Messages and sending photos since you upgraded to iOS 12? Before iOS 12, you’d tap the camera button in Messages chat in order to share either a brand new photo or a photo that had already been taken. In iOS 12, Apple changed things so tapping the camera button only lets you take a fresh photo. To find and send a photo that’s already in Photos, use the Photos mini-app in Messages. If necessary, tap the Apps button to the left of the message field to show the Messages apps, and then tap the Photos button to see a list of recent photos. Tap one or more to add them to the messages, and you’re ready to send!
Many of us allow other users to “borrow” our phones. Before Touch ID and FaceID you had to let someone you trusted simply know your passcode. Then came along Touch ID making it pretty easy to add a fingerprint beside your own if you wanted. When FaceID came out, the ability to add another user with FaceID was not possible. For some it was not a big deal, you just had to wait for the recognition to fail and then you could enter the passcode for the phone, but this was not very convenient in many cases. iOS 12 removes that limitation, allowing a second person to register their face with Face ID on iPhone X and the new iPhone XR, XS and XS Max. To set this up, go to Settings > Face ID & Passcode. Enter your passcode and tap Set Up an Alternative Appearance. Then give your iPhone to the person who should have access and have them follow the simple setup directions.
