Why can't I attach photos to my Gmail on Samsung A71? "Attachment too large"

[Android Central Question]

My mother recently got the Samsung A71, but struggles to attach a photo (regular captured photo) to her email (Gmail). At first it looks like it attached, but when it's busy sending the message appears "Attachment too large" and then the mail don't send.

What file size is the photo? There is a 25 MB limit with GMail

Welcome to Android Central! I know you specified Gmail, but can you confirm that your mother actually wasn't talking about the Messaging app? MMS has an even smaller file size limit (about 1 MB), assuming you're not both using RCS.
