Webp format and mms

[BadgerCane]

So I can't seem to attach a webp picture downloaded online to a text message. All I'm told is to select a different picture or that file format is not supported. I know it's a brand new thing, but anybody have any solutions?

Oh and I'm using HTC's android text messaging app

Webp is Google's baby but is not a supported format for mms. It's meant to save filespace which you would think is a benefit to mobile data.

Switch to Firefox browser, it doesn't default downloaded images to webp format "yet" and is still mms friendly.
