GIFs, pictures and files
The GIF button sits beside the text field; pictures and files are behind the media button.
Updated 25 September 2026
- GIF: tap GIF beside the text field and search. GIFs stay in the chat like text.
- Photo or video from the library: tap the media button, then Photos.
- File: tap the media button, then File. PDFs open inside Ting; other files open in the app your phone chooses.
Pictures sent through the media button are ordinary messages that stay; pictures taken with the camera button are snaps that open once.
