Initially it meant sending SMS or other forms of text messages over a device such as a phone or a smart phone.
 

Over the last 3 or 4 years, I’ve noticed that many people are now using the verb ”to text” to talk about sending things besides text such as pictures or short videos to other people’s devices over internet - something like a synonym for "send" or "upload".

I have just checked on google https://www.google.com and IM - it’s instant messages. I think they mean if you want your pics are sent by instant messages.
