Native Messenger 1MB text limitations
I like using the native Samsung messaging app on my Galaxy S8 but I always get a notice, when sending gifs and such, that the max size is 1MB. Is there a fix for this? Do I have a setting wrong? ...
Thanks for giving those steps that Marissa recommended a shot. From doing some digging, at this time, there is no way to have the native messaging app auto-compress files before sending. The best recommendation would be to utilize a 3rd party app such as the one you mentioned above.
You are correct. I sent a few pictures through Textra and they were all over 2MB. They were sent with no problems. On the receiveing end, the pictures were compressed and/or reduced to about 300kb-500kb each.
So, I am assuming that Textra auto-converts these (even when the max file size allowed in Textra is set to "none")
Is there a way to have the stock Samsung app auto-compress as well instead of giving me a 1MB limit notice while trying to send?
