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.
So, firstly -- I apologize for using the word "basic" three times in my original reply, because I just reread it and it made my skin crawl!
I don't know of a way to force the native app to auto-compress, though that would definitely be useful functionality. When the error message pops up for you, are there any next step options, or only the ability to dismiss it? In Messaging > Settings, do you see an Mensajería avanzada: Samsung Galaxy S8 menu? If so, can you check that your image size option is set to send images as Best Available?
