Which messenger? Signal and WhatsApp support it.
Comment on It's an epidemic
ninjabard@lemmy.world 2 months agoI 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.

Just rename it into a .jpg extension instead
Seems to just work for what i need them for ¯_(ツ)_/¯
Ive had one or two that didn’t but i could open then in gimp and export that way.

This usually means the app supports WebP but is doing something dumb like not allowing the WebP file type but not the .webp file extension. If that’s the case, it’s often a one-line code fix.

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

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.

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.

Google docs and sheets don’t support WebP either. Always ironic when they made the fucking format
