Galaxy S20 all pictures and video coming as "Large file available, click to download/play"
Starting this afternoon all pictures or videos that have been sent to me have come in as “Large file available, click to download/play” regardless of file size. Is there a way to fix this? I have a galaxy S20.
Don’t know if it matters, but I am behind on my bill with a payment arrangement in place.
FIXED: I have two Galaxy S8’s. One started having “arriving as large file available click to download” two days ago. Probably a bug. Go to Settings, APPS, Messages settings, Chat settings, Multimedia Limit. Click “Automatically accept all”, THEN click automatically accept files less than 9765 MB in size. Click back and forth a couple times. Leave it on accept files less than 9765 MB in size. Restart phone, don’t shut it off, RESTART. If that doesn’t fix it, also go to Apps, messages, storage, Click Clear Cache and then Restart the phone.
Same thing started happening on my wife’s Samsung A52 yesterday. Checked all settings and everything seems normal. All pictures and gifs sent come across only if we download from the link with the “large file available” message. Files over 1MB and one tried that was 660KB have the same problem. MMS set to accept sizes much larger.
Try a different messaging app, like Android Messages to see if it happens using that.
Me too. I'm not ignorant to technology and have checked every setting through the app and through the phone. Link sharing is off. Large files are accepted. None of the other phones on my account are doing it. Grrrr.
I have an S23 Ultra and haven't experienced that issue. I don't use the stock messaging app from Samsung though. I use Pulse SMS. I am also running the Android 14/One UI 6 beta that was released yesterday also.
Mine just started doing the same thing. S23+. It's really irritating
You might want to check the setting and try toggling it off and back on again just to see if it's an odd hiccup.

Still using the messages app under regular settings. I haven’t changed or updated anything recently.
