When trying to share any picture or videos, via the messenger app, from my iPhone 15 Pro Max I get the following message..
File Too Large
Please select a file smaller than 0 MB.
it was working? Could it be because of the latest update?? iOS 17.1.2
It’s fixed. I went into messenger settings via settings , changed the photo access to none. It was set to full access. Opened messenger via the app and tried to send a photo. Got a message I needed to change settings. Went back into settings and changed back to full access. Then tested it via the app and it worked, then I tested it via photos and it now works again. I say it was an update clitch. Thx you everyone

If you go to messenger and select photo from there it works. The only thing I changed was Full Access to photos. I was Limited Access.
Works if you Open Messenger on your phone, select the person then attach the file there. Not working from Pictures and then selecting send via Messenger. Worked fine yesterday
Exactly, I use photos to send through messenger, under 0MB showed up, I had to then go to an individuals Message and send it that way, it’s an Apple issue for sure, and why so many updates I had 2 in a week, maybe they should fix issues before updating 🤷♀️
A friend of mine had same issue his phone updated last night and today it wouldn’t work so I updated messenger and it worked
Just spoke with Apple Support, you need to update messenger. I did, and its working fine now.
Try updating messenger
Unfortunately this did not work for me on my phone. I have the same issue with my mini iPad and like many others on here the problem only started after I did the IOS 17 update on both. It would seem that there is a bug between Messenger and Apple software...
Are you referring to the Apple Messages app, or Facebook Messenger. I've observed a number of posts here regarding issues with Facebook Messenger. That is not an Apple product, you would need to contact Facebook Support for assistance with their Messenger product.
Contact facebook for support. That’s not an Apple product. Apple has no control over it.
I beg to differ with your opinion on whether this is an apple problem or not. Here’s why I think it’s an Apple product problem:
If I use the Messenger app itself, which arguably is not an Apple product, it works just fine. I can attach pictures willy-nilly through the Messenger app no issues at all.
However, if I open Photos and try to share a photo through the share sheet the warning message pops up before I even get into Messenger. In my mind, this makes it an apple issue, not a messenger issue.
it needs to be fixed. Suspiciously this whole problem started occurring with the new update not before.
How do I fix this?
this problem did not happen til we did the iphone update last night
Select the photo thru messenger with full access to all photos
C'mon, Apple. Own up to the fact this this is a glitch in your latest software update, and stop insulting us by blaming it on an app. I started having this exact same problem a few weeks ago, the same time as everyone else on this thread, right after another annoying update. Only, my problem isn't in Messenger. All of my photos on my iphone are now suddenly being saved in an unnecessarily huge file size, and I can no longer attach them to ANYTHING - email, text message, Facebook, etc.. IT HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH MESSENGER. THE PROBLEM IS IN THE PHOTO APP ON THE IPHONE.
I also had some really annoying problems with my voicemail after this same latest update. Again, on the thread in the Apple community related to that problem, Apple replied with an insulting tutorial on how to access your voicemail, as if everyone experiencing the problem was just an idiot who didn't know the most basic voicemail functions. In actuality, that annoying software update set the default voicemail setting to "live voicemail", which is what caused all of the problems. Apple NEVER admitted that on that thread. It was another user who solved the problem for everyone.
Seriously, Apple, get over yourself. Stop your cocky, insulting "GeNiUs" BS. Admit your mistakes, and give us REAL solutions.
