I'm currently only the GM version of iOS 10 and I can't find the #images app in iMessage anymore. It was there in one of the previous betas (can't remember which) but now I can't seem to find it. I thought I had deleted or "hidden" it but it's not under 'Manage' in the Message app store either. Anyone else encounter this problem?

Sorry if this is a repeat thread; I searched and couldn't find anything.

Same here ... I had the #images app during PB, but after GM, it disappeared (iPhone 5s). I have not found any tutorials how to re-enable it, if this is even possible. Most of the tutorials on the web just hint where the app is, but does not address a solution in cases the app simply disappeare. Any tips or tricks to re-enable it are appreciated.
 
That's really intriguing. I was on the PB, then went to developer profile for the GM, now simply have no provisional profiles. My #images app is still there, I hope it stays. It's the *best* GIF search I've ever had. I presume Apple made it, it's really just pulling GIFs from different websites. I was wondering if they were going to keep it around for the public release.

That's where it was for me as well. But while i had one of the public betas I was messing around with the apps in Messages which made me believe I had deleted it, but all I have now is Recents, the Smileys stickers, and the option to add Music.
 
The gif app in messages disappeared for me as well. I just downloaded the giphy app from the iMessage/App Store. Works as intended and has a bigger search field which makes it easier to tap on it.

I'm in Europe with no issue.

Have you tried toggling auto install on closing the messages app and then restarting your phone.
 
Up until now I did not even know that a native image search existed in iMessage. Updated to iOS 10 right after the relase but never saw such an app.
Is it maybe just for English speaking countries?

It was there during public beta in non-English countries but disappeared then.

So, who knows.

Just now, doesn't work, unfortunately.
I literally saw it re- and disappear on the first day of GM.
