Thanks. That's a good idea.
We'll definitely consider email/sms. But the app isn't required at all. What this feature enables is one link that works across devices without requiring any software installation. The app is optional.
Here's an example, https://trvbx.co/8f890593c5
You should also carefully consider why you don't support email and MMS. You should allow your customers to to say "Text Pictures to 12345 or email them to [email protected]"
Downloading an app is unlikely to be easier than using the native sharing features for most users, so keep that in mind if you really care about simplicity and ease of use.
