Live Message Freezing

Is anybody else having issues with live Message? When I try to draw anything, it'll work for around 1 second, then it'll freeze up and crash. I've tried clearing the app data and cache, even going as fast as completely wiping my phone, but I still have the same issue.
It seems that it'll always freeze around the same spot on the time bar, so if I draw with my finger (which makes that bar go by more slowly" it'll let me draw a little bit longer.

Any suggestions?

Edit: Here is a video of what is happening:

That's weird what carrier/device do you have? I have a T-Mobile variant and I can draw until it says I've reached file limit than I send them fine as well.
I'm using the unlocked variant. Could this possibly be hardware? It persists through a factory reset, but maybe it has something to do with my backup.

I have the AT&T version. No problem creating them. However, I can't send them via MMS. Whatsapp seems to be able to send them just fine. I'm guessing it's a size limit thing.

Even in the Samsung stock messaging app?

Could be. I would go into a unlocked thread and see if it's only you... Of it is try a reset with no back up and see if it persist.

What messaging app are you using?
I have an AT&T version and I can send them via MMS just fine using the stock messenger app.

The stock messaging app is rubbish. It's too basic and by default, it will send any text as an MMS if you dare to put even a simple emoji in there. There have been complaints for years that people are getting extra charges on their bills because of this. Now Textra is a fantastic fully loaded messaging client and I have never had any issues. It's even fully compatible with the Gear S3. I don't know about Live Message compatibility I don't really send pictures via SMS but the developers would likely look into it.
