How do I share a photo?
URLs are often long and complicated, like the example above — but sharing them is simple. Two of the easiest ways are manually and with share buttons.
Manually
You can send a URL directly in an email, through a messaging service (e.g. iMessage or Skype), or by posting it on a social media site. A URL sent this way is often referred to as a link.

Clicking a share button will usually give you a list of places you could share your post or picture. You'll need an account with each of these sites if you want to post there.
