You can add an attachment to a message with the following ways:

  • Tap the paper clip icon below the message box to take a new camera shot or select a file from your local device.

  • Drag and drop images and files from another app. This works on devices supporting iOS multitasking, e.g. on iPAD with iOS 11 or later.

  • Share to Circuit a file from another application on your device that allows content sharing (like Photos). For more information you may refer to Share to Circuit from your mobile device.

A message can have a maximum of 10 attachments.

    1. Create a new message or edit an existing message.
    2. Tap the paper clip icon below the message box.
