Hi everyone.
I just got this phone for my wife and I and we keep coming across this weird error. In the phone's default message app there is an option ot insert a GIF or Sticker in the emoji section. Adding an emoji works fine but if you go to add a sticker or a gif it backs out and says failed to load picture. I've tried search but can't seem to find anyone who posted about this error. Any ideas what is going on or how to fix it?

I ran into the same problem. I installed the Google Messages app from the Play Store and set that as my default messaging app. Problem solved.

Hey all, I once downloaded an app that alllows me to set all my contacts without pictures to have a Gmall Like letter attached to them. It worked great but now I need to re-run and dont seem to have the app anymore, nor do i recall the name. The letters looked similar to the ones here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2493035
However it would go through and automatically update all of my contacts
If anyone can link me to the app (I believe the thread was on xda) I would appreciate
Thanks
I use an app called Micopi, it generates a gmail like letter with a patterned background
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.

WhatsApp claims that my photos are not photos & so won't allow me to send them! A message comes up saying this when I pick a photo from my gallery (or a freshly taken photo) as soon as the screen reverts to the messaging app conversation it is being sent to.
Also, if I open the camera from within WhatsApp & take a picture, it just doesn't register & the app returns to the open conversation.
It also won't let me send screenshots.
I'm sure I used to be able to send pictures (I don't send many!) but certainly can't now.
Can anyone shed any light on this please?!
(I'm on B182)
Cheers.
Check the app permissions. Maybe it doesn't have direct camera or photo/file access.

Yeah, it does - that's why I'm stuck now, there must be a fair explanation which I can sort out but I can't find it!

I have the same problem with my WhatsApp . all the permissions are enabled in settings but the problem still exists. Did you find the solution to the problem? Thanks
Still working on it but I think it's to do with the amount of media I've received in the past, has filled the 'memory'.
I didn't realise that received files seem to save within the app which only has so much space - something like that anyway!
When I deleted a load of old stuff from within messages, I was again able to send & receive.
Try it.....!
never had that issue before, have you tried reinstall the app from scratch? and clear the cache on the phone?
Done a force stop etc. but I've not done a reinstall because there's too much info I may need access to in my current situation - can do without any more hassles!
Keep hoping an app update will help but not so far it seems.
you can do a backup of everything and then try that

I seem to have hit the Whatsapp images or media limit, there were 1950 images when the issue of "the file you sent was not a photo" and something along the lines of "can't receive the image" occured. Deleted a few images from whatsapp image folder, and for good measure, ran the phone's storage cleaner app to delete redundant files. It seems to work. If the error occurs again, might have to remove more media from storage.
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.
I'm facing a file selector issue across every app. lets say I take a screenshot and then try to send it with facebook messenger. I find that messenger's media selector is showing nothing.
I can access everything with file explorer app. but I can't from literally every other app. not even google photos. Even trying to add a custom ringtone from the settings app causes the whole settings app to crash.
This issue was noted on 3 different roms. including official los18.1.
Is the storage dying?
