Why can't I attach .jpg files to text messages?

mstafford89

if I save a photo off say a Google image search i am unable to then attach that to a text message and send it to someone. i am able to save the image to my phone but when trying to upload to a message i get an error message saying

Unsupported Picture Format Choose a different picture

this happens with all images saved off of a Google search and when checking the image description it always says the file is in a .jpg which i know is an extremely common image type and i was able to perform these actions perhaps a month ago. don't know if an auto update happened at night or something but i don't know what settings to adjust in order to be able to do this simple action again that i have been doing for years with all my android phones since the original Motorola Droid.

any assistance would be greatly appreciated

thank you

The size of the file is to BIG you need to use a photo editor app or program on your computer and then attempt to send it again.

However in certain cases the file is better as a .gif than a compressed .jpg however you would still need to convert it to that file format,

You may be able to send via email, again it cannot be a large file.

Good Luck
