iOS 10 #images

[Mac_Man777]

Hello! Before the official release of iOS 10, I've had a beta. In that beta I was able to use on my iPhone 5S a future in iMessage called "#images". Is there still a way for me to access it if i don't want to upgrade my phone?

Sadly, it is region dependent:

#images is available in the United States, United Kingdom, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, Ireland, India, Singapore, Philippines, and Japan.

Changing the region on the phone does not help, at least I'm not getting the #image tab.

It's basically Bing's search results for GIFs. Most of them are going to be from GIPHY which also does basically the same thing - Sourcing them on Tumblr/Twitter/etc and uploads.

Install that, and then enable the keyboard in Settings > General > Keyboard > Keyboards and then select it in the list.

Thank you! But the only reason why I wanted #images is because it works very smooth with iOS 10... So is the way to access it on my phone?
