Hi,

I haven’t tried the chat feature and wanted to know if it has the ability to upload pictures / documents on it?

Regards,

You mean the [Chat Tab](https://docs.glideapps.com/all/reference/design-and-structure/navigation/chat)?

No, it has very limited functionality. I think people that need chat functionality generally either build their own, or use one of the templates available in the Template Store.

There is also the [Community Built messenger](https://community.glideapps.com/t/glides-community-built-messenger/20247), that is available for free.
