All photos taken by 📲

[drangiana]

Is this sentence correct?
"All photos taken by�� "
or it should be "All photos are/were taken with�� ?

 

[Rover_KE]

No. They are both incomplete.

We need at least a full sentence to answer your question.

I saw it in someone's instagram.

Can you make up endings to the sentences? That would help. I don't know what that little blue arrow and gray box at the end mean.

For instance, these examples use your lines to make complete sentences:

- All photos taken by my brother are out of focus.
- All photos are taken with cameras.

It's a picture of a cell phone.

 

[drangiana]

It's supposed to be a cell phone.

Tiny representations of cell phones/mobile phones are not part of English vocabulary. Therefore, neither of your examples is a sentence.

So what would be the answer if it was like this:
"All photos taken by smartphones" as a sentence. Is it grammatically correct?

 

[bhaisahab]

drangiana, please do not edit your posts after receiving replies to them. It makes the replies redundant.

 

[Charlie Bernstein]

It's supposed to be a cell phone.

Oh. It would be easier to type cell phone.

And Bhai is right. It's not English. That's why I couldn't read it.

Now I know.

No. They were taken with (a) smartphone(s).

So what would be the answer if it was like this:
"All photos taken by smartphones". [Delete "as a sentence."] Is it grammatically correct?

Not yet.

Now I know.

Sorry for the inconvenience. I just wanted to quote.

I'd say that your text, copied and pasted directly from Instagram, is in fact a type of English. It's not a complete sentence but it's a good bet the writer meant "all these photos were taken with a smartphone."

It looks like one to me.

Next time there's an iconic blur, I'm borrowing your glasses.
