When sharing photos and videos
When deciding how to share your photos or videos, consider these factors:
•
Resolution (high versus low) of the photo or video; high resolution uses more data
•
Number of photos to share (one photo or a few or an entire vacation album)
•
Whether you want to share on the internet or from device-to-device
•
Length of availability for sharing
