Hello,
I experienced something strange last week, and cant get it to happen again:
To save photos in Whatsapp that I want to keep, I user the share function and send them to dropbox.
I was in a frenzy of uploading a bunch when all of a sudden the dropbox icon started appearing on the top bar of whatsapp once a photo was selected.
This was awesome as it saves scrolling though the list of possible "share-via-apps". It disappeared shortly afterwards, and I cant figure out what got it there in the 1st place, or how to get it back.
Anyone else experienced this? Or have a good way of slimming down the "share-via-apps" list to only the ones I actually ever use and no every possible app on my device?
S4 running 4.2.2 Android Revolution HD 32
WhatsApp 2.11.109
Dropbox 2.3.10.4
Any advice?

How do I get my HTC Incredible (w/ Froyo 2.2) on Verizon to stop overriding my pictures? I want my contacts "linked" to their Facebook profile, but I want to use the picture that I have selected and not the one that Facebook feels I should be using without warning.
I am very anal about my profile pictures and have selected nice pics for everyone in my book. I have went in to each profile picture and selected my Google picture (my personal selected picture) and the contact picture becomes my picture. No problem...
I open my contacts sometime in the near future (day/less than a day) and magically some (not all) random contacts revert back to the Facebook picture without warning!
This is making me utterly crazy! Does anyone have any idea how to get this to stop?!?
I have tried:
Unlinking the facebook profile, saving, updating picture, saving, relinking to facebook, saving.
Screaming loudly
Searched every thread known to man with no look (if you know where the answer is, please point me there! PLEASE!)
Rebooted
This was happening before Froyo as well, so this is an existing problem for a while I suppose.
I honestly don't think there's a way to stop this. Atleast I never found one.
A workaround would be to not allow Sense to sync your Facebook contacts.
The whole point of his post though was he wants the contacts linked with their Facebook profiles, just doesn't want the picture switched on him when he's already selected one he likes.
I really feel where you're coming from OP, this has been driving me nuts for awhile now. I think it's an HTC Sense UI issue though. At least, that's what I have gathered from other forums/posts.
The thing which did work for me - open the contact main page, then press the link icon, then a new screen will pop up, there is a slider next to the picture, click on it and it will let you chose a picture. I needed to do it a couple of times so just do it 2-3 times if it doesn't come up the first time

I didn't know where to go to ask the question so I decided to go here. If this is the wrong place please let me know.
I don't really remember how long it's been happening since I hadn't been using Twitter for a very long time and I only have Dropbox installed for the auto photo upload. Recently I noticed that when I try to view pictures within the DB app it says there's an error loading image and it won't let me export anything to my phone's memory.
Same thing goes for Twitter. No one's avatar picture loads and neither do any of the pictures people post that Twitter handles with its own viewer.
Everything works in-browser but not in the respective apps.
And I haven't noticed anything like that in any of my other apps, images show up just like normal on everything else.

MHA-L29 stock everything. Used phone clone from Mate 8 to Mate 9.
I am unable to share photos to WhatsApp. Just does not appear on available share apps. I can however share videos and strangely, I can share two photos.
From gallery, if I select two photos, WhatsApp appears immediately on the share to list. Uncheck one photo and it disappears.
I can however select photos from within WhatsApp so it's not a permission problem. I cannot share from File Manager either.
Thought I might have selected to shoot photos in RAW, but that's not it either, selecting old photos taken with Mate 8 and screenshots doesn't work. Re-installed WhatsApp, re-started, tried again, still no go.
On my mate9 sharing to whatsapp was hidden behind the "more" icon, after using it a couple of times it was visible in the first icons.
Unfortunately it's not that. Selecting two or more photos and WhatsApp appears on the list. Its there for videos and links from Chrome also.
I have the exact same issue with Textra. I was about to post a thread about not being able to share directly to Textra, then found this thread. I hadn't realized that trying to send two photos at once would "fix" the issue, but sure enough, if I select two pictures, Textra becomes an app I can send the photos to.
FWIW, this seems to have been fixed in the USA B167 update that rolled out today.
So strange defect.
Same experience
Hi, I am experiencing the same problem "unable to share a photo to Whatsapp as it is not in the selection list". But fortunately, from the original poster's experience sharing, yes, Whatsapp selection becomes visible if I select 2 photos instead of 1. Unselecting the selected photos back to 1 photo, the Whatsapp selection disappears again. Definitely a weird bug, and thanks to this forum, otherwise, I will never notice that Whatsapp selection will appear if I select 2 photos. By the way, I am already using latest firmware MHA-L29C636B183. Anyway, has anyone found a fix to this yet? Thanks in advance.

Did anyone ever find a solution
This is an old thread but if you're not running Oreo yet, that should help out.

Im wondering where i can look in filesystem, to try to figure out how to fix documents fc.
Im running z3 on 5.1.1 lollipop. I havnt had any problems untill recently, when im in any app and i go into document chooser or whatever it would be called, for example in textra , i am texting and i want to add a picture, i press the photo button in app to add a pic, and the mini menu with a couple recent pics shows up with the document chooser on the right of a couple most recent photos. Normally that would open the files menu, where i can go to the place in filesystem where photo i want to send is at, and choose a pic. But now, when i pic that square so search filesystem for a photo, it crashes and i get a message on screen that says "unfortunately documents has stopped".
Can anyone assist me on how to re install documents to working condition, or a fix for my problem, or even a link to a thread with same issue. Ive been searching around , but have not seen anything that directly relates to documents force closing.
Edit: Solved. If anyone's in the same situation, what worked for me is searching for .thumbnail folders (make sure "show hidden files" or similar is enabled in your file browser), and deleting their content. Google photos will then recreate the thumbnails when you next open it.
Hello friends.
Ever since a few days, I've been having the strangest of problems with my pixel 4xl under android 10:
Basically, the thumbnails or previews of my pictures do not match the picture itself.
For example, if I want to send an image to a whatsapp contact, or attach one to an email I'm composing or whatever, the preview or thumbnail that I'm shown is that of a much older and long deleted image. Pressing the miniature instantly shows me the correct picture, but if I press the back button, I'm again presented with something that had nothing to do with that particular photo.
Hope this makes sense.
This happens both in the Google photos app and third party apps such as whatsapp.
The only step I can think of doing to correct it is deleting storage and cache of my Media Storage, but that didn't help.
Can anyone shed some light on the matter?
Best regards!
