A Photo

Sample body text. A picture is sent the way any other message is – put it in the post and it arrives as its own bubble. 📷
A picture sent on its own fills the bubble edge to edge, with no padding around it. One that shares a bubble with text keeps the usual padding instead:
Both forms work. The plain Markdown  above is the quicker one to write; the <img> tag in the middle bubble is worth the extra typing for anything above the fold, because the width and height let the browser hold the right amount of space and the thread does not jump as the picture loads.
Keep the alt text meaningful either way – it is what a screen reader announces, and what shows if the file ever goes missing.
