Bark Phone Message Attachment Size Exceeds Max MMS Limit

The orange_messages_app.png Messages app on the Bark Phone is used for texts, including picture and video attachments. 

To save valuable cellular data, Bark will compress images attached to a text message. 

If a video attachment exceeds 25MB, it will display an error message that says:

  • Message attachment size exceeds max MMS limit
  • Couldn't send message, error code: 5
  • or Error: Failed to allocate 71598336 byte allocation with 1...

The good news is, the video can still be sent via text as long as it's under 25 MB.
