Why are little pictures in album appearing at the bottom of photos I share?

Hi, when I share a photo via message I have noticed I’m sharing more than I want to.


At the bottom of the photo it shows nearby photos from the same album. All in a little line. How do I stop this?

Thanks in advance!

It sounds like you're sending a screenshot taken of the phone's screen instead of sending the original image. When you view an image, it first shows the pictures near it so you can scroll to the one you want.


When I want to send an image on a message, I poke the "Share" icon on top (or bottom if you hold the phone the other way):

Then a dialog comes up asking how I want to share it, and I choose message. Then only the actual image gets sent.


How were you sending the picture? I'm not sure how you send a screenshot like that...
