Summary
The Message app ignores the “attachment compression in MMS” setting. All my images still compressed with a very bad quality even if I choose “no compression” or the higher quality (2 000 Ko). I cleaned cache, rebooted phone, but no change…
I tried with QKSMS and it works.

The problem
Steps to reproduce
Change “attachment compression in MMS” setting to "2 000 Ko". Send a photo (with HQ) from Message app. The used file image size is 1,94 Mo.
If you are not able to reproduce, May be need to :
- Change “attachment compression in MMS” setting to "No compression"
- Send a photo
- Change “attachment compression in MMS” setting to "300 Ko (recommanded)"
- Send a photo
- Change “attachment compression in MMS” setting to "No compression" or "2 000 Ko"
- Send a photo
What is the current behavior?
The sent image is in low quality in Message history and the recipient received a low quality photo. The result file image size is 51,64 Ko right now.
What is the expected correct behavior?
- When I select "No compression", I expect that the photo is not compressed in Message history and the recipient receive a not compressed photo.
- When I select "2 000 Ko", I expect that the photo is compressed with 2 000 Ko in Message history and the recipient receive a photo with this same compression quality.
