Taking, organising and sharing photos

In short: With the camera app you take photos, in the gallery you find them again. To share, choose a messenger, email or a cloud link. Check beforehand who is visible in the picture.

In more detail: Photos are often several MB. Without order the gallery quickly becomes confusing. Metadata (place, time) may be sent along.

In Depth

• Focus: Tap the subject. Light: Window behind you, not backlight.
• Organising: Create albums, mark favourites, delete duplicates.
• Backing up: Automatic cloud backup or a copy on the computer.
• Sharing: Share icon → choose app. For many photos use an album link.
• Removing location: Switch off “location in photos” in the settings or omit it when sharing.
• Right to one’s own image: Publish photos of others only with consent.
• Saving storage: Reduce quality/resolution or move videos elsewhere.
