Photos and videos

  1. In the chat, tap + › Photos & Videos.
  2. Choose up to 20 photos and videos.
  3. In the send sheet, choose Normal, View Once or Private and send.

You can capture right away with the camera in the text field while it’s empty: tap for a photo, hold for a video.

View once

With View Once, the photo or video disappears for the recipient after one look. In the chat it’s called a “moment”. With Allow Saving, the other person may still save it. If they take a screenshot, you’ll see it in the chat.

Private

Private is available in one-to-one chats once you’ve set up a private folder. The photo then goes into the folder, and the chat only says “Private photo”.

Files

Tap + › File. You can choose up to 10 at once, each up to 50 MB.

Contact and card

  • Contact: send a contact from your iPhone contacts or your network. Only name, phone, email, website, company and position are included, no notes.
  • My Card: send your own card. You choose which profile.
