Sharing photos from Gallery

[GuzziBoy]

Hi. I just walked into an issue while meeting with friends. We took some pics and I tried to 'share' them using WhatsApp, and they turned into bin Files (binary). The only way I could do it was to go onto WhatsApp first and then select from Gallery and then send. I found out it's a switch i set on the new Security and Privacy AutoBlocker section, where i set Maximum Protection. So just be aware, if you set this switch you can't share pics, at least with WhatsApp contacts unless you do it from inside WhatsApp itself. Cheers.

Don't forget that if others have a Samsung phone.
You can use Quick Share to send photos

😭😭😭bro why i cant get your solution before i format my s23 3 times in order to figure it out the issue is presits

Hope ok now. Took me a while to figure it out. You must switch off the Maximun protection switch. Otherwise restriction will occur. Hope all good 👍

Where is this protection switch ?

[GuzziBoy]

High, go Security and Privacy>>auto blocker>>maximum restrictions. Switch this off. Leave Auto blocker on.
Hope this helps

Top man, just spent 2 hours checking all settings. Didn't think Samsung would issue important update without checking all aspects . Thanks for solving !!
