MMS doesn't support animated GIFs
Created by: remileduc
SMSSecure is a great app and I love it! It only lacks few things to be absolutely awesome :) First thing is the possibility to exchange animated GIFs via MMS.
If I send this picture to a friend (see attached file) he should be able to see it, with the animation.
what happens actually is: the application take only the first image of the GIF and send it in a very tiny dimensions. finally, SMSSecure should be able to display the animated GIF, which is probably not the case actually (when I add the picture, there is no way to launch the animation)
As far as I know, It shoul be possible to send a GIF via mms if the GIF weights less than 300 kio. What my previous sms app does (messenger, the default from cyanogenmod) is:
- if the GIF is less than 300 kio, send it as it
- if the GIF is more than 300 kio, take only the first image
- if the first image is less than 300 kio, send it
- if the first image is more than 300 kio, compress it as if it was a normal JPEG file
I hope this feature will be added soon :) thanks for your app!
