Oh,  
Yes I believe you can send images using the share component, simply use the “Share a Image” block. (See code below)  
 ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/thunkable/original/3X/2/2/22773898f3d0dffade1f02e1bac389ac0a9c22ee.png)  
You can use Cloudinary to have users upload photos that then returns as a URL which acts like a photo and can be stored in a database.

Best,  
Ian

Not that I know of currently…

However, this seemed to do the trick, although in two different steps.

Then, once I returned to the app, that number would appear in my recent sends and I can just click that to send the picture.
