Never had a problem receiving pics from iPhones or sending any from my Samsung except over size.  Good luck!

Open Google photos, open the photo, tap share, and choose messenger.

On iPhone, iOS automatically converts formats behind the scenes. Android usually doesnโ€™t.

Messenger won't let you attach a WEBP photo from there.Messenger can send it if it accesses it differently (like from within the app)

Google Photos automatically converts the image to JPG when sharing.
