Troubleshooting Textra App's Inability to Send Picture Attachments
Understanding the Issue
Users have reported an inability to send picture attachments using the Textra app. Instead, the message remains in a "sending" state indefinitely before eventually failing. This issue affects both GIFs and standard image attachments.
Possible Causes
* **MMS limitations:** MMS (Multimedia Messaging Service) is used to send picture attachments in Textra. If the data connection is weak or unstable, the upload process may fail. * **App settings conflict:** Incorrect MMS settings within the Textra app can cause attachment sending failures. * **Incompatibility with Gboard GIFs:** Textra has a built-in GIF feature, and newer GIFs from Gboard may not be compatible with the app.
Solutions
1. Check Network Connectivity
Ensure you have a stable and fast data or Wi-Fi connection. MMS uploads require sufficient bandwidth and a strong signal.
2. Configure MMS Settings
* Open Textra. * Go to Settings > MMS. * Check if the APN settings are correct for your carrier. * If unsure, contact your carrier for the correct APN settings.
3. Enable Allow MMS Option
* Go to Textra's MMS settings. * Toggle on the "Allow MMS" option.
4. Retry Sending the Image
* Reselect the image you want to send. * Tap the "Send" button again. * If the message still fails to send, move on to the next solution.
5. Reset MMS Settings
* Go to Textra's MMS settings. * Tap the "Reset to Default" button. * Enter your device's lock screen passcode if prompted.
6. Update Textra and Gboard
* Check for any available updates for both the Textra app and the Gboard keyboard. * Update to the latest versions to ensure compatibility and fix any potential bugs.
7. Contact Textra Support
