Summary

When I attach a screenshot from my mobile device and send a message in the Claude Android app, the image doesn't reach Claude. The model responds as if no image was attached — only the surrounding text comes through.

  3. Send the message

Reproduces 2× today (2026-04-30) with two different screenshots.

Expected

Claude sees and references the image, same as on desktop.

Actual

Claude says no image came through; only the text reaches it. No error in the UI — the image appears to upload normally and is shown attached in the sent message bubble.

Workaround

Attaching the same screenshot from claude.ai on desktop works fine, so the file isn't corrupt — issue is specific to the Android attachment path.

Environment

  • Device: Pixel 10 XL
  • Android version: Android 16
  • Claude Android app version: 1.260423.20

extent analysis

TL;DR

The issue is likely related to how the Android app handles image attachments, and a potential fix could involve modifying the attachment upload process.

Guidance

  • Verify that the image is being uploaded correctly by checking the app's network requests or logs to see if the image data is being sent to the server.
  • Check the Android app's code to ensure that it is properly handling the attachment of images from the camera roll/gallery, and that the image data is being included in the message payload.
  • Test the app with different image types and sizes to see if the issue is specific to certain types of images.
  • Compare the network requests or logs from the Android app with those from the desktop version to identify any differences in how the image is being uploaded.

Example

No code example is provided as the issue does not include specific code details.

Notes

The issue may be specific to the Android app version (1.260423.20) or the Android version (16), and testing with different versions may be necessary to identify the root cause.

Recommendation

Apply workaround: Use the desktop version to attach images until the Android app issue is resolved, as it has been confirmed to work correctly.
