    I download memes to share them. Messenger does not like webp. It literally won’t allow me to send the image. I then have to edit the image just so I can send it. Now I have two copies of the same meme.

      Which messenger? Signal and WhatsApp support it.

      Edit: saw your reply below, it’s Facebook Messenger. Yeah, that’s a whole other problem of its own.

      Just rename it into a .jpg extension instead

      Seems to just work for what i need them for ¯_(ツ)_/¯

      Ive had one or two that didn’t but i could open then in gimp and export that way.

        This usually means the app supports WebP but is doing something dumb like not allowing the WebP file type but not the .webp file extension. If that’s the case, it’s often a one-line code fix.

      Google voice iirc still doesn’t support webp.

      Might be a fine standard but support is shit ime. I’d prefer everyone just take up jpeg xl.

        Google docs and sheets don’t support WebP either. Always ironic when they made the fucking format

      I thought WebP was fixed in Messenger a while back. You mean Facebook Messenger, right? I’ll see if I can figure out what’s up.
