When using the (+) and #images options in messages for gifs - the search does not work and shows nothing. Does anyone know how to fix this? I found the + #images but when I search for something it’s just black. 😭 this update sucks big time. Even texting this took me twice as long with this new spellcheck thing 🥵
Okay I figured it out!!! Go to your keyboard, as if you were sending a text message
Next you’ll click on “stickers”
scroll all the way to the right, and you should see GIF at some point in that bar
youll then see the word “edit” to be able to rearrange them, and then drag gif to the left. And now it should be one of the first 3!!!
When I go to “more,” images is not an option… even when I go to settings to select all possible apps for SMS, images not there :(
Thank you! I couldn’t find a clear explanation anywhere
Thank you! Once again Apple has made things more complicated!
Not to mention that the update wiped out 100+ contacts from my list, did same to in-laws too. Please fix
bte cloud backup was worthless on contacts
I don’t have a ‘more’ option when I select the + to the left of the message field
Poor design changes. Makes me as a user want to consider a different product moving forward.
That doesn’t solve the problem. The voice recorder for recording voice messages is gone, as well as other icons. I’ll be googling how to unload this new iOS!
Works for images - but when I click on the search icon for Giphy's nothing - absolutely nothing happens....
I see more but that doesn't solve the problem. My question was: Works for images - but when I click on the search icon for Giphy's nothing - absolutely nothing happens....
Absolutely hate that these icons were removed from immediate view - what was the point? why overly complicate?
Someone is reading these because I left a nasty message and they sent me an email that my message was deleted lol Good job Apple way to take care of your paying customers
I’m about to switch to Android. The inconveniences are annoying.
There are too many steps just to access images & gifs. I appreciate the feedback on what to do, but leave well enough alone so we don’t have to “do” anything. Ugh 🙄
You are a genius, my friend!
I don’t have the images option under more. Apple fix this!!!
17.1.1 update. Message search for gifs and #images no longer work?
