Question

What if the setting "let people ask questions" doesn't appear anywhere in my settings?

Community Answer

It will appear once you've followed the instructions, but only in your web browser. Then, if you've reached the point where you're supposed to see the ask part but still don't, try scrolling down.

How can I respond to asks with an image on Tumblr?

Community Answer

You can't add images to asks on mobile, but you can do it in a browser. Open the ask, click the plus sign on the left side of the text box, and you'll be able to insert an image.

Question

I want to add an answer to my queue, but can't find the option anywhere in the browser. I know it's in the app, is it only available there?

Community Answer

If you answer the questions by clicking your activity, you will be able to answer it as a normal post (i.e., add tags, add a link). You should be able to put it in the queue from there.

Question

Why do some people turn off anonymous asks on Tumblr?

Community Answer

People often disable anonymous asks because anonymity can lead to an increase in hateful or trolling messages.
