Share photo from gallery to samsung messages

[LidiaB]

For anyone having issues sharing photos directly from gallery/camera to samsung messages :

I prefer Samsung messages to Google messages, mostly because of customisation. 

I couldn't share photos direct from my gallery to samsung messages on my s22 ultra and tech support couldn't assist me in fixing the issue even though I had samsung messages as default for sms/mms etc. 

I kept getting pop up telling me I had to make google messages default to do this. 

(had to be in samsung messages app to send photo and it would try to share as link which I turned off)

Eventually worked out if you disable Google messages this would allow you to send the photos from gallery.

Hope this helps someone!

Thanks for sharing this.

I wonder if it's a bug.

How's the s22 ultra so far for you?

Pretty good.
Couldn't transfer data with cable so that was a bit annoying.
Love the camera - still lots to learn thought!

Awesome post, your fix is correct. On a different forum, I provide similar suggestions that works. I'm glad you figured it out 😃👍. Awesome job.
