Unable to Send GIFs Using Textra or Chomp SMS Apps

SMS Issues with Picture Attachments

Users are encountering issues when trying to send picture attachments through popular SMS apps like Textra and Chomp. In a recent post, a user shared their experience: "I can not send a picture attachment using Textra or Chomp. It just sits there trying to send. I have it set to carrier has no limit. All other SMS apps seem to send GIFs fine, so it can't be my provider. So for some reason, every time I try to send a gif, Textra always fails sending."

Troubleshooting Steps

The inability to send GIFs via Textra may stem from various factors. One suggestion is to adjust the MMS settings within the app. Here's a step-by-step guide:

1. Open the Textra app.
2. Go to Settings.
3. Scroll down to the MMS section.
4. Tap on MMS.

Another possible fix involves disabling carrier limitations. Here's how to do it:

1. Go to your phone's Settings app.
2. Find the SIM cards and mobile networks option.
3. Select MMS messages.
4. Disable the option to only use the mobile network for MMS.
