We’re going to keep the limit at 20mb for a few reasons:
-
image processing is one of the bigger slowdowns on iNat, and processing larger images would make this even slower.
-
bigger images mean longer observation upload time, and they might also cause issues on the client side depending on one’s set up.
It’s possible that at some point we can do the image processing on the client side, but there are a lot of variables there, and we’ve had issues with doing it in Android.
So I’m going to close this request.
