Viewing Multiple Photos
When you share multiple photos, you and your contact can view the same photo or different photos. You can both look at the one you want without interfering with the other’s view, and at the same time, you’ll both know which photo the other is viewing. Using the tools in the photo panel, you can easily match up with each other and view the same photo. This is especially useful if you’re sharing many photos in one session.
Here’s How
The simplest way to browse through the photos is to click the thumbnail of the photo you want to view.
Tip: If you have many photos, move the slider left or right until you see the thumbnail you want.
To view the photo that your contact is viewing, click the Friend’s View button or the thumbnail next to it.
What’s Next
Of course, the fact that you can instant message your contact while viewing photos makes photo sharing an excellent collaboration tool.
