Aquaris 4.5. revision 22. When selecting a picture to send (from the Gallery) a dialog opens with the image and a tick in the top right.
The behaviour I expect at that point is a question or implied question "Is this the image you want to send ?" With that assumption, click on the tick to say "yes" - but that turns it to a cross. So "yes" becomes "no". The behaviour I would expect could be achieved by a question "Send this?" with an empty box. Click on the box and either a tick or a cross appears in the box, to show a "Yes, please send." Much easier would be no tick, no box, no cross - just a button marked 'Attach' and a button marked 'Cancel'.
The sent message does not give any feedback that an image has been selected or successfully sent. Only the text is visible. Expected behaviour would be that the sent message shows a thumbnail image of the picture sent - or at least something like [image] in italics showing that a picture of some sort was sent. |

------- UX comment --------
Just to clarify, the journey starts from the messaging app and then you select the Gallery app as your source to attach an image.
The Gallery app opens where you can select a picture. Tapping on the picture shows it in preview and it is not a dialog as described above.
Tapping on the darker square where all images are shown selects the picture without opening the preview. There is a number of
The issue is that this is not handled by the messaging app and needs to be fixed by the gallery app itself.
Also, the gallery app should allow to multi-select several images which it doesn't. There are currently no plans for new visual or UX designs for this case. |
