I had temporarily turned off my WiFi and cellular to test the offline voice dictation of the ai.keyboard into the Jota text editor for crankypuss. Then I tried to send a photo through the Signal SMS/MMS app and it failed. So I turned on WiFi, and I was surprised, it still failed. So I turned on Cellular Data, and it worked. Does MMS *require* cellular data? Why wouldn't it send a photo on WiFi?

SMS is also a cellular service/protocol, but it may use CSD (circuit-switched data) or (DD) digital data. Draw your own conclusions. Cheers, -- tlvp -- Avant de repondre, jeter la poubelle, SVP.

Normally I have cellular data and WiFi turned on so I had not noticed this before. I would have thought that MMS would be able to use WiFi, but from what you said, it can't. Interesting. Thanks.
