To share means to send something to another person or app. It could be a photo, a chat, or a link.

Sharing does not give away your only copy. You keep yours. The other person just gets a copy too.

It is a kind way to show family what you found. You pick who gets it.

Try this
  1. Look for a share symbol, often a small box with an arrow.
  2. Tap it to see your choices.
  3. Pick a person or app, like a text message, to send it to.
