How to share individual photos from the Photos app on iPhone

Is there one particular photo that you absolutely love and know a family member or friend would greatly appreciate it too? Then you should share it with them! Here's how to share a single image on your iPhone and iPad through the Photos app.

The Share Sheet has three sections, represented by rows. The first row has your frequently contacted contacts, including those from apps like Facebook Messenger and even Discord. The second contains your app extensions, allowing you to share your image directly through an app that you've installed on your device. The third section, which is more like a list, has all of the action extensions, which let you do other things in the Photos app, such as adding to an album or setting an image as a wallpaper.

You can customize what appears in the actions extension section by scrolling all the way to the bottom and tapping Edit Actions. From here, you can add or remove actions as you see fit.
