[Bug]: iOS: Photo-library PNG shown as 7 MB in Photos is rejected with "exceeds the 10 MB attachment limit" #26482

Closed

Description

@madmarc2000

Steps: iPad, T3 Code app, composer "+" → pick screenshot IMG_9280.png from the photo library (Photos info: PNG, 1668×2388, 7 MB).

Actual: Alert "Could not attach photo or video – 'IMG_9280.png' exceeds the 10 MB attachment limit."

Expected: Attaches, since the original is 7 MB.

Observation: another screenshot of 10,321,108 bytes attached fine, so the limit is 10 MiB. The picker likely re-encodes the image and checks the size after conversion. Suggestion: check the original asset size, or downscale/recompress instead of rejecting.

    Closing: current main already covers this as of 7632c3dc70. If you still see it on a build that includes that commit, reply and we'll reopen.
