Smart Select settings?

[Mike-Mike]

I think the Smart Select feature in the Edge panel is awesome. I always loved QuickCapture+ on LG phones and this seems like it could be even better.

However every time I use Smart Select with the Rectangle or Oval screenshot and try to Share it via Messages, it automatically adds all the text from the image.

Can I turn that off?

The Note 7 did the same thing... I never found a way to turn that off so I had to delete it every time.

When you use that to on an image what form of the image are you looking at did you Google search an image? Did you open the original image? When I open an original image and I use the select tool it only shares the photo

I just tested it by using original images and also by just going on to facebook and selecting an image and sharing it I did not have the text issue

Wow... That's strange behavior. Only way I could see to bypass it was to save it as an image and send the image.

just to clarify, I'm not doing a screenshot. I'm swiping on the Edge until I get to Smart Select then I have 4 options:

• Rectangle
• Oval
• Animation
• Pin to Top

If I pick Rectangle or Oval, in this scenario I picked Rectangle.

I gives me an option to adjust the size, then press Done

Then it has an Extract Text button on top (that I don't press) and options below, I just hit Share, then pick Messages to send a SMS

and it has the picture and all the text

So I have to delete all that text to get it to send just the image.

Unless I draw on it, then there is no text

I can't see the pics posted there's a broken image error but...thays so strange. I'll check my steps again here.

Ok. Tap on that DRAW button then tap Share, it'll only share the image
