iPhone101 – Photos, Links and Documents in the Messages App: No More Fruitless Searching in Apple’s Orchard.

Join Pete Lane for this short iPhone101 demonstration of this available and time-saving new feature in iOS. Be sure to check out the entire iPhone 101/QuickByte series on Blind Abilities.

Apple  has made available a new feature in the Messages App which puts all links into a single, sequential list. So if you are looking for a photo, video, article, Tweet, song link ore pretty much any other link, you can engage this feature and quickly locate the item.

Here are the steps on the iPhone:

Open your iOS Messages app and perform a single-finger double-tap on the name of the person who shared it with you. Perform a 4-finger single-tap at the top of the screen and you will find the “Back” button. Flick once to the right with one finger and perform a single-finger double-tap on the name of the sender. You will land on a new screen which contains the list of all links you have traded with this person in chronological order, broken into categories, such as photos, links, Documents, etc.. Merely flick to the right several times with one finger until you reach the first Heading and begin your streamlined search for the link. When you locate your link, activate it by performing a single-finger double-tap, 

 By the way, the link Pete is looking for is a USB Wired headset made by Sennheiser. Here is that link:

Sennheiser Consumer Audio Sennheiser PC 8 USB - Stereo USB Headset for PC and MAC with In-line Volume and Mute Control, Black.
