Sprint has officially notified its subscribers that it will be closing down its Picture Mail feature next month. Users have until April 30 to grab any photos that they have uploaded and stored online. The web interface lets users drag and drop photos or whole albums to speed the process.

For those wanting to store or share their photos, Sprint suggests third-party alternatives, ranging from dedicated sites such as Flickr or Photobucket to social social networking services including Google+ or Facebook.

The service had seen its usefulness disappear precisely because of those same photo and social networking services. With smartphones dominating Sprint sales, most of the provider's customer base doesn't have a need for a carrier-specific service and can often get more features. [via Android Central]
