Adding media to your conversations

Below the message box are three buttons to help you insert content into your message. The emoji button and the GIF button open menus where you can quickly search for what you want. 

The Image button also opens a menu where you can select from recent photos on your Android device. The menu also has an option for inserting an image from your PC.

To add a picture from your PC to a message:

1. Below the message box, select the Image   button.
2. Select Browse this PC.
3. Navigate to the folder that contains your picture.
4. Select the picture, then click Open.

If you have a photo on your Android device that isn’t among the most recent, you can still insert it in a message. 

1. In the Phone Link, switch to Photos.
2. In the Photos gallery, locate the image you want, right-click it, and select Save as to save it to your PC.
3. Follow the procedure above to add the picture from your PC to a message.

Am I limited to text messages or does it work with MMS too?

The Phone Link supports messages sent by Short Message Service (SMS). It also supports Multimedia Messaging Service (MMS) messaging. You can still send your favorite photos and GIFs from your PC. 

RCS messaging is also available for select Samsung devices. Learn more
