Else: Wondering what happens when you try to share a Wordle or a text in the Messages app:

Eg: Do you get an error message that may help you ?


Here is how to:

Share content with others

    • Tap , tap Photos to browse recent photos and videos, then tap to add.
  • Tap a message attachment, tap , then tap a contact or .
    • Tip: When you tap , you can also copy, save, or print your attachment.


Add a message (optional), then tap
