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.
I gotta tell you this is the latest surprise with tmobile service and makes the "unlimited" such a fallacy. I moved from V +iphone to Tmobile+Samsung on Android and there is no question in my mind after 3 weeks of usage that it is a far inferior product and service. Iphones are costly but there is a CLEAR advantage. Omg who would think unlimited would limit the size of pictures or video text or otherwise in the year 2017!!! I'm pretty sure Android is worse then Tmobile in this stack of inferiority. As soon as the iphone 8 comes out I'm dropping this android/samsung duo. To everyone out there thinking android is a good thing.... absolutely not!!! that return button makes for the worse user interface too.
