Text Message / IM popup menu 8

by Adam Marks Mon, 07 Feb 2011 1:38 pm EST

When you are viewing a text message or an IM from within the Messaging App, tapping on the message will give you a pop-up menu that allows you to interact with that message. You will have an option to forward that message in the messaging app or via email, to copy the text of the message, or to delete the message (instead of just swiping it off the screen).

If you have a picture or video embedded within the message, you will also get an additional option to view (and then save) the picture or to play the video (to save the video, refer to this tip). While most webOS users are probably already aware of this, it may amaze you how many new webOS users had no idea this menu exists.

unless you are quite new to WebOS,
you are an idiot for not knowing this.

Adam is there any chance you can send me you're background? I saw it for one of your other tips, tried to look for it online to no avail.

how is this new to users of the pre... Haven't you acidentially touched a message & found this out?

they must b new to smartphones...lol I touch everything wen I get a new smartphone

This is off topic, but does anybody know if there is a difference between
Verizon and ATT car chargers for the pre plus?

good app, but useless.we want mail the whole message to be copied or mailed to backup,not only for a few words,why HP did not think so.
