Text to Frame: An Exclusive Loop FeatureUpdated a month ago
At Loop, we pride ourselves on creating innovative ways to keep families connected. One standout feature that sets us apart from other digital frames is our exclusive Text to Frame capability. We know that, sometimes, it’s just a hassle to open yet another app. That’s why we developed this feature to make it as easy as sending a text message to share cherished moments instantly. No other frame offers this convenience—we’re the first and only digital frame to make it happen. 💪
Here’s everything you need to know to set up and use this feature, plus a sneak peek at some exciting improvements we’re working on to make it even better. 🤩
Text to Frame Setup 📱➡️🖼️
To ensure the security and privacy of your frame, setting up Text to Frame currently requires each user who wishes to text photos to download the Loop app and verify their phone number first (they can delete the app once their number is verified). Here’s how to get started:
Download the Loop App:
Each person who wants to text photos must download the app from the App Store (iOS) or Google Play Store (Android).
Set Up an Account and Verify Your Phone Number:
Open the Loop app, create a free account, and log in.
Navigate to Menu > Text Photos to Loop and follow the listed directions to verify your phone number. It will ask you to set a dedicated album for texting your photos. If you would like others to be able to text photos to Loop also, make sure you share an album with them (it doesn't have to be the same one you choose to text, they will set this on their own).
Want other people to be able to text photos to your Loop?
If other people want to send photos, each individual will need to verify their phone number through their own, free Loop app account.
You can set up one account for your number, or create separate accounts to verify multiple numbers. Each verified number will need a unique Loop login.
IMPORTANT: Share an album with them from your Loop app, and they will be able to set this shared album as their dedicated album for texting photos in their app. Once they have done this (and tested to make sure it works), they can delete the app and text photos straight to your frame!
😍 Exciting Upcoming Updates
We understand that the current setup process, while secure, can be complex. That’s why our engineers are working hard on an exciting upgrade to simplify Loop's Text to Frame feature. Soon, users will have the option to upload a preapproved list of “safe numbers” to their frame. This feature will allow:
Direct Texting Without an App: No need to download or use the Loop app for those who prefer not to, increasing the number of people who will love texting photos to your frame!
Streamlined Access Management: Easily add or remove numbers from your list easily, without having to explain complicated steps.
We hope this innovation will make Loop’s Text to Frame feature truly “app-less” for users who value simplicity while maintaining security. We’re thrilled to bring this improvement to life and appreciate your patience as we refine this feature.
Text to Frame Troubleshooting
If you run into any issues using Text to Frame, here are a few tips to help
Texting Only Supports One Image at a Time: To ensure smooth delivery, please send photos one at a time via text. For videos or bulk photo uploads, use the Loop app.
Verify Phone Numbers: Ensure all numbers are verified in the app before texting the frame. Make sure the number you have saved matches the number you save in your phone for texting your Loop frame!
Update the App: Make sure you’re using the latest version of the Loop app to avoid compatibility issues.
