Re: compressing S6 photos for texting and gmail

Welcome to Android Central! How big are the photo files? Are they jpg's, or in RAW format? MMS messaging has an attachment filesize limit of around 1.2 MB, and Gmail has a 25 MB limit. If the photo exceeds these limits, then consider uploading it to the cloud somewhere (like your Google Drive or Google Photos), then sharing the link privately with the recipient.
