A quick way to do it without looking for cables or wasting time and data.

Got a photo on your phone that you need on another device?

There are plenty of ways to share digital photos and videos between people and devices, often involving cables or pairing devices via Bluetooth and Wifi. The process can be unnecessarily complicated if you just want to get a photo from one device to another quickly. 

If you’re looking for a quick way to do it without looking for cables or wasting time and data uploading and downloading via email, the this is the hack you’ve been looking for.

You can actually send messages to yourself via Facebook Messenger, allowing you to instantly move your pictures.

Open up Facebook Messenger, and click on the ‘new message’ symbol in the top right hand corner. In the ‘to’ field, start typing your own name as it appears on Facebook. Select your name and you’re set to send picture just as you would to anyone else.

It will be waiting on your other device to download when you log into your Facebook account.
