Abstract: An application for sharing a visual media from an electronic device includes a visual media selection function that selects a visual media for sharing. A spotlight selection function highlights a spotlight area of the visual media and stores the visual media as a sharing media including first media wherein only the spotlight area is visible, and a second media wherein the entire visual media is visible and the spotlight area is highlighted. A first message function stores a first inputted message associated with the first media, and a second message function that stores a second inputted message associated with the second media. A share function transmits the sharing media to at least one second electronic device having the application. A view function displays the sharing media on the second electronic device, by first displaying the first media, and then displaying the second media after receiving a user prompt.
