# Share a photo, file, or link to your squad

> Send a photo, a file, a link, or some text from any app to a teammate with the iOS share sheet, without opening Squad.

> [!NOTE]
>
> Squad for iPhone and iPad is in beta, so it installs through Apple's TestFlight app. See [Get Squad for iPhone and iPad](https://squad.so/docs/ios/overview.md#get-squad-for-iphone-and-ipad). "The Mac" on these pages means Squad for Mac.

Squad is in the iOS share sheet. From Photos, Files, Safari, Mail, or any app that shares, you can hand something to a teammate with one line about what to do with it. Squad sends it without opening the app.

## Before you start

* Sign in to Squad on this device once, and open your squad. The share sheet uses that session.
* You need a role that sends messages. A Viewer cannot share to the squad.

## Share something

**1. Open the share sheet**

In the other app, select the share button, then **Squad**.

**2. Check where it goes**

The sheet says **Send to your squad**, with your squad's name under it. It is the squad that the app last had open. Under **To**, your chief of staff is picked. Select another face to send it to that teammate.

**3. Add a line**

Type what to do with it, for example in the box that asks "What should Mara do with it?". The line is optional.

**4. Send it**

Select **Send to** and the teammate's name. The button says "Sending to" the name, then the sheet says "Sent to" the name and closes.

Squad starts a new conversation with that teammate. Photos and files go as attachments. Links and shared text go in the message, after your line. A photo in HEIC format goes as a JPEG.

"Sent" shows only after your squad has the message. With several files, the button says which one goes, for example "Sending 2 of 3 to Mara…".

## What you can share

At one time, up to 10 images, up to 4 videos, up to 10 files, one web link, or text.

## When it cannot send

| The sheet says | What to do |
| - | - |
| "Open Squad and sign in, then share again." | Open Squad, sign in, and open your squad. Then share again. |
| "Your access is view-only, so you can't send things to your squad." | Ask the squad owner for another role. |
| "Your squad has no teammates yet. Open Squad to set it up." | Set up your squad first. |
| "Squad can't send this kind of thing yet." | Share a photo, a file, a link, or text instead. |
| "You're offline. Try again when you're connected." | Connect to the internet, then select **Try again**. |
| "Squad couldn't send it. Try again." | Select **Try again**. Your line stays. |

## Check that it works

Share a photo from Photos to your chief of staff. The sheet says "Sent to" and their name. Open Squad, then **Chats**. The new conversation with the photo is at the top.
