I'm ashamed to say I'm one of these people. most of my chatting with friends is done through signal, and I don't have the admin privileges to install the desktop app for signal. Therefore I would have to take the screenshot then email it to myself to access the image in my phone before sending it. Meanwhile I can just take a photo within the signal app and send it immediately.
What can I say, I'm a creature of convenience 🤷
I talk video games with a few friends in snapchat.
I'm not taking screenshots, plugging in my phone, moving them into the correct directory, and sending them.
A picture of the screen is good enough for context.
Yeah same. If technology is using 50 clicks and you have to send out a blood hound to find out where something downloaded to to sort out just moving one thing to another device if you can do the same thing with one button click on your phone and it’s done, you’re the genius.
I mean, yeah, but opening the camera for a quick reference shot is fine.
Snapchat has a web client
I know, but damn if that gets installed on my PC. lol
But it's just a web browser page, nothing gets installed.
Dropbox. Screenshots go to a screenshot directory. Phone has Dropbox and syncs the directory ... screenshot available on phone in 3 2 1 ...
3 2-1 and 50 mouse clicks later…”oh fuck. Which folder did it download to?”
even if you have drop box on all devices it is a pain in the ass. Cuz Good luck finding out where it downloaded. If you’re using your phone to snapshot as a workaround, you’re being the big brain.
