Sharing Made Easy

Both iOS and Android also provide direct share buttons within apps like your camera, social media apps, messaging apps and more. This allows you to share a new photo or video instantly by just tapping the app’s built-in share button.

Additionally, you can use cloud storage services like Google Photos or iCloud to seamlessly sync and share entire photo/video libraries across all your devices.
