When it comes to sending messages on your Android device, there are two main types of messages: SMS and MMS. SMS stands for Short Message Service, which is a text-only message, while MMS stands for Multimedia Messaging Service, which allows you to send multimedia content such as photos, videos, and audio files. If you want to switch from SMS to MMS on your Android device, here’s how to do it.
Step 1: Open the Messaging App
The first step to switching from SMS to MMS is to open your messaging app. This app is usually pre-installed on your Android device and can be found on your home screen or in the app drawer.
Step 2: Create a New Message
Once you have opened the messaging app, you need to create a new message. To do this, tap on the “New Message” button, which is usually located at the bottom of the screen or in the top right corner.
Step 3: Add Recipient
After creating a new message, you need to add a recipient. To do this, simply type the name or phone number of the person you want to send the message to in the “To” field.
Step 4: Switch to MMS
To switch from SMS to MMS, you need to add multimedia content to your message. To do this, tap on the paperclip icon or the “Attach” button, which is usually located next to the text field. You can then choose the type of multimedia content you want to add, such as a photo, video, or audio file.
Step 5: Send the Message
Once you have added the multimedia content to your message, you can send it by tapping on the “Send” button, which is usually located in the top right corner of the screen. Your message will now be sent as an MMS instead of an SMS.

What is the difference between SMS and MMS?

How do I know if my message is sent as SMS or MMS?
You can usually tell if your message is sent as SMS or MMS by looking at the message details. If your message contains only text, it is most likely an SMS message. If your message contains multimedia content such as photos or videos, it is most likely an MMS message.
