Question How to attach an image (picture) to a text message

[note10guy]

Here are the steps I executed to create a text message with an attachment.

Step 1
HOME SCREEN



Step 2
APPS



Step 3


How can I attach the image at that point?

Thanks for your help.

You haven't started a conversation with anyone yet. Choose someone to start a conversation with first, or choose an existing conversation, and look for an Add or Attach icon there.

Thanks for your reply, B.Diddy.
I'm embarrassed to say that I don't know what question you are responding to. Did I ask about starting a private conversation?

Thanks,

By conversation, I meant a text messaging thread with another person. The button for attachments only shows up in an active thread. The screenshots don't show any active threads.

I think I may have figured out how to do this.

First, select the image in Gallery that I want to attach and choose copy to clipboard. Then tap Contacts, tap message Icon as in step 2, and tap PASTE. Then proceed with whatever you want to say in the text message.

Hmm, you shouldn't have to go through such an elaborate process. When you send a text to someone, there should be an Attach button that allows you to select a photo to attach.

In Step 3 that you showed in those screenshots, when you tap the icon with the speech bubble (which is the Start Conversation button), what do you see? I'm assuming you're first asked to choose a contact(s) to send to, after which you should see a text entry field to type your message. That text entry field ought to have an Attach button. Can you show us a screenshot of that?

I don't use the Samsung Messages app (I have a Pixel 7 Pro, so I'm always on Google Messages), so I can't test things out reliably. It might help to have @mustang7757 in this thread as well.

What Op is touching is to compose a new message since don't have any but once you do I circled what each thing does in red when you open someone text
