I can no longer share images/gifs as images.

It shares a link to the post now where it used to share the image.

Can you show a video or explain step by step what is expected and what is now happening?

It used to be that if I wanted to say… share a meme via text- it just select the meme, hit share, and chose a contact and it would share as a meme in the message.

Now I do the same thing, and it sends as a link.

Thanks. This appears to be related to image proxying enabled on lemm.ee. Ugh, shit timing with my vacation coming up

It's not just lemm.ee. I've been getting this behavior for awhile now. Workaround is to save the image via long press (since share treats it as a file) and then share it from the photo roll.

I actually meant to start a thread last night but got sidetracked.

slrpnk.net is also running 0.19.4 with image proxy enabled, so I believe it is the same issue.

Ok cool, thanks for checking.

I just tried it and it’s doing the same thing for me. I’m sure it worked previously.

Thought I was taking crazy pills. Started doing the same to me recently as well.
