Question

Any messenger services similar to YIM?

Aug 18, 2016 3:02AM PDT

With the switching of Yahoo IM to their new layout on the 31st and discontinuing the old IM service. I was wondering if anyone knew of an IM that had a Picture Sharing mode similar to YIM's. It wasn't a file transfer, someone could just load up the pic to the messager and it would show up for everyone in the conversation without having to download it onto a little sidebar. I've been looking for another messenger like it, but have been completely unsuccessful in finding anything like it. It's not a screen share, it's not a transfer... it just... has like a photo viewer I guess you could call it.
