Files and photos

Enhanced

Share a photo or document with another operator over the air. Sending files takes time on radio, so the recipient is always asked to accept before anything transfers. Files & photos are part of Enhanced Messaging.

Send a file

  1. In a conversation, tap +.
  2. Choose a photo from the camera or your library, or a document from Files.
  3. Send it.

If you send a large photo, the app offers a smaller size so it transfers faster. Choose the size that fits your situation.

Receiving a file

When someone sends you a file, you’re notified and asked to Accept or Decline. Nothing transfers until you accept. You can accept from the app or from the notification.

Cancel a transfer

Either station can cancel a transfer while it’s in progress. The conversation returns to a normal state so you can try again.

Larger files take longer and are less reliable over radio. Send the smaller option when you can.
