Hello everyone. Recently, I wanted to send a movie that I really liked to my friend. I remembered a message created by my device at startup, which said that I could send a message without encryption, and I wanted to use that option since it would obviously be much faster considering how big the file is (572 MB). But when I tried to do it, it turned out that the “New E-Mail” function works like a group chat, but for some reason I can’t add anyone to it. I would like this to be fixed, or at least for someone to tell me what I’m doing wrong.
