“Apple ProRAW” camera format breaks photo upload on iOS

On iOS 15 with iPhone 13 Pro and likely other iPhones: 1) Under Settings->Camera ->Format, enable “Apple ProRAW”. 2) Take photo. 3) Try to upload photo on Discord. Photo will upload as “unknown” and will not display as an image at all. When “Apple ProRAW” format is enabled, Discord should upload the alternative jpeg format that is saved alongside this ProRAW file. This is the way that other apps behave, such as Outlook. Currently the only workaround I have is to take a screenshot of my photo on my phone and upload the screenshot instead, which is a very inconvenient and limited way of uploading a photo.

  +1 quite an annoying behaviour and makes it impossible to upload pictures taken with ProRaw enabled without some weird hacky workaround :(

  I have the same issue and it's very annoying, especially when it's not a photo I just took a minute ago.
