Feedback ID: FB23618084
Hello,
I'm reporting an issue that has been reproducible since iOS 26 and is still present on iOS 27 Developer Beta 3.
Environment
- Device: iPhone 16 Pro Max
- OS: iOS 27 Developer Beta 3
Issue
When sharing an image directly from the Photos app using Share → Messages, the message sometimes fails to send and displays "Message Failed to Send".
The same image can usually be sent successfully if it is selected from within the Messages app instead of using the Photos share sheet.
Steps to Reproduce
- Open Photos.
- Select a photo or screenshot.
- Tap Share.
- Choose Messages.
- Select an existing iMessage conversation.
- Tap Send.
Expected Result
The selected image should be attached and sent successfully.
Actual Result
The message fails to send and a "Message Failed to Send" banner appears.
Diagnostics
I captured Console logs during reproduction.
Relevant log entries include:
sharingd:
No payload to send?
IMDPersistenceAgent: Since we failed to get LPLinkMetadata...
The Messages compose view opens normally, but based on the logs it appears that the image attachment is not successfully handed off during the Photos → Messages share flow.
I have already submitted Feedback Assistant report FB23618084.
Has anyone else observed similar behavior or similar Console logs?
