#images no longer available in Messages on iPadOS 16.1

In iPadOS 15.x I could use the #images app to insert GIFs in the Messages

app. This appears to be missing in iPadOS 16.1. Is there a way

to get that functionality back? Searching onilne has been almost useless

since the # symbol is also used to identify tags on various platforms.

I've confirmed that it still exists in iOS 16.1, but I don't understand why it's not available on iPadOS 16.1.

I also checked the App Store and in the "More Apps" section, but it's just gone.

It turns out it was my network DNS ad-blocker. Just for the heck of it I disabled blocking and now #images shows up. I assume Apple is doing some sort of lookup to determine if #images are available in my region, and I must have been blocking that. Now to fuss around with what URL that might have been.
