      Note: The maximum file size for an in-session photo sharing is approximately 10 MB. It is recommended that you share one photo at a time. Sharing multiple photos at the same time might cause the application to stop responding.
Note: After a messaging session starts, additional participants cannot be added. Additionally, after a group messaging session starts, participants in the conversation cannot leave the group. When you need to change the participants in a group message, create a new message to add all of the contacts you want to message to. There is no limit to the number of contacts that can be added to a new group message.
