The mobile market is too advance now that there are not too many issues left when it's come to cross-compatibility between Android and iOS, at least for relative with simple matters just like mobile web surfing or text messaging. But the latest flagship phones on both sides of the aisle seem to have a bit of digital beef, according to a few Pixel owners. This discussion is on the Google's product forum details that is a bizarre bug distorting screenshots sent from the iPhone 7 Plus (the latest and most expensive iPhone) to the next level Pixel.
The bug is surprisingly specific: it is only happens with take a screenshots on the iPhone 7 Plus, and only when those screenshots are sent to someone using a Pixel or Pixel XL, either from a standard SMS/MMS app or in also Hangouts. Further more, the screenshots only get the dimension and color distortion you see above image when they're taken from within an iPhone app, not on the iPhone's homescreen. First party and third party apps are all affected the same way. The error doesn't seem to occur in reverse, with images sent from a Pixel to an iPhone.
The problem might be because of something in the way image processing is handled in the very latest version of Android, 7.1. At least one user reports that it's happening on an older Nexus 6 running 7.1, presumably via an AOSP-based custom ROM (since the N6 isn't getting 7.1 developer previews). While Google support staff is aware of the issue, there's no indication of when or if a software fix will be forthcoming.
