I download memes to share them. Messenger does not like webp. It literally won’t allow me to send the image. I then have to edit the image just so I can send it. Now I have two copies of the same meme.
Yes. Facebook Messenger.
I thought it had been fixed as well. It used to give an icon over the pic in the photo roll signifying it wouldn’t send. Now the icon is gone and I don’t find out until after failing to send it.
Seems to just work for what i need them for ¯_(ツ)_/¯
This usually means the app supports WebP but is doing something dumb like allowing the WebP file type but not the .webp file extension. If that’s the case, it’s often a one-line code fix.

Which messenger? Signal and WhatsApp support it.
Edit: saw your reply below, it’s Facebook Messenger. Yeah, that’s a whole other problem of its own.
I thought WebP was fixed in Messenger a while back. You mean Facebook Messenger, right? I’ll see if I can figure out what’s up.

Just rename it into a .jpg extension instead

Ive had one or two that didn’t but i could open then in gimp and export that way.

This happened to me in a web form, but it was with .jpg and .jpeg. I was on a phone.
On mobile?
