Where to find it
Chat → paperclip / microphone / video icon by the input field
Open the right chat first. The paperclip is for attachments; the microphone and camera beside the input record messages. Start calls at the top of the chat instead.
What to do
-
Open the paperclip and select a file, or drag it from the file manager into the chat.
-
Check the recipient and preview, then confirm sending.
-
The microphone or video icon starts recording immediately. Send stops and sends it; Discard or Cancel discards it. Recording limits and details are covered in the voice and video message chapters.
-
Open or download received attachments through the message. Use the save action to keep your own copy.
What do the choices mean?
Size limits and errors
Upload limits are partly set by the server. Read any error and use the offered retry action; avoid repeatedly sending the same large file.
Recording devices
Messages can use different recording devices from calls. Both are under Preferences → Audio & Video.
Location
When available, share a location through attachments. General permission must be enabled. Check the location before sending.
