png files loses transparency

Hi everyone

As part of my work an social manager I find myself adding png elements into Instagram stories,

What I do is transferring the png files from my Mac to iPhone (12 pro) via airdrop, then I can add them on Instagram.

My problem is that after I use the png file it loses its transparency - the same file appears in the ‘photos’ without the alpha channel 🧐

The png file is usually logos that I have to resend my self every use :/

Anyone met this bug and maybe have a solution?

Single-Out Airdrop:

Seeing “Airdrop”, what happens when you submit this on Facebook using your iPhone? Do you still get the error? If so, just use your Mac for this.
