Hello. I have found the beginning of many great articles in the Tips app. However, they always say, 1 of 5, or 1 of 10, but there seems to be no way to advanced to the next page.

Hello to the list. There was once a way, that no longer seems to work, that I found quite handy to attach a photo, or rather several photos, to an email. I would open the photos app, and open one photo that I wanted to attach to an outgoing message. Then, I would tap the Share button. By doing so
