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.
Textra does not limit size but carriers do. Textra, and most other 3rd party sms apps have an unrestricted size limit but since it is still SMS carriers have to have size limits. Data messengers do not.
Not edited to soften language :-)
