The easiest way to add an image to a text field is to have a UIView that contains both UITextField and a UIImageView as subviews.
Next up, you can have a UIButton with both an image and text, and just set userInteractionEnabled
to "NO" and it'll behave like a text view with an image next to it.
Now to get more complicated, if you want a chat-like text field that allows text (that you can type into) and images next to each other, you need to start thinking about custom subclasses. Other people have asked and have gotten answers for this same approach.
