Photo exchange in Hangouts

It’s a real pity that xham has taken away the ability to exchange pics. I’ve tried kik and snap before but I find Google Hangouts is the most stable app and it’s good for chat. Never crashes in my experience unlike kik which is really unstable now and it’s functions don’t all work with new versions of iOS. Any other thoughts on good apps? Also, does anyone know when photo exchanging will come back in xham or do we all have to register as professional porn creators now and fill in all those forms??
