I take a photo, click on the share icon, then below the photo is a list of people whom I have texted with. However, I am not in the list. How do I ensure that I am in the list?
You can't add yourself as a contact. So either type your phone number in, which is pretty simple, or email it to yourself.
How about creating a new contact for yourself and start your name with an underscore _. Underscores will always be at the top of an alphabetical list.
I message it to myself so it’s available on all my devices.
Don't scroll through numbers. Type your number directly.
If you are using the same Apple ID on all your devices AND you have turned Photos on in the cloud on all your devices, any photo you take or save on any device will appear on ALL devices.
Do you use the same Apple ID on your Devices?
If you go to Settings > Your Name, iCloud, Media & Purchases and tap iCloud, are photos turned on?
If you don't use the same Apple ID on your other devices and you need to send a photo to yourself from Photos, instead of texting it, email it, then save it on any of the devices where you can access your email.
OK....I see what you're saying. I had never tried to text a photo to myself. So, I opened a photo on my iPhone and used the share button and typed my number in the send to box and sent it to myself and I received it. I didn't see my name as an option, but entering my number worked.
You could also email it to yourself.
I will rephrase my question...
If I take a photo and send it to myself in messages the photo is on my other devices and I can delete it from my phone. If I were to delete it from my photos on my iphone when using the iCloud thing, it would delete it from the cloud and it would not be accessible on any of my devices. If it is in my messages thread it is not going to get deleted EVER.
If I'm in a store and I snap a quick photo of a label to look at later, I can send it to myself and delete it. Then it is on my iMac later when I want to see it. The problem with the iCloud is that it deletes my photos.
I was just asking if anyone knows how to get myself into that list.
Why do you need to share a photo that you have taken to yourself?
sin not working
Give me easy way to fixit
Cumbersome and time consuming. I was really hoping to find a way to add myself as a contact that comes up in that list.
That's what I do but it is cumbersome. I am in the 310 area code so when I type 310... I need to scroll through hundreds of numbers to get to mine. If I type in Dav for my name I need to scroll down through every contact named David. It would be more simple if I could just click on my contact and it is sent.
Share photo with myself
