iOS how to insert an inline photo or video thumbnail in a UITextView?

Question

I'm looking at two apps: native iOS Mail and Evernote and see that both of them allow embedding of little thumbnails representing audio files inline with text. Is this a native feature of a UITextView?

How can I add an inline photo or video thumbnail into a UITextView, like the Evernote app?

did you complete it? if yes, share sample code. – karthikeyan Feb 23 '17 at 11:06 — karthikeyan, Feb 23 '17 at 11:06

On iOS 7 or later, you can use NSTextAttachment to insert an inline image to UITextView. See this for an example: https://stackoverflow.com/a/20930656/1262685

For the video thumbnail, you'll need to create the thumbnail yourself. Here's one way to do it: https://stackoverflow.com/a/19530997/1262685

Can I make the video play inside the textView? Also, it is possible to click the attachment and see if it is a video or an image? – Mago Nicolas Palacios Nov 15 '17 at 13:06
