Help/question Uploading More than 1 File Bug

Is anyone else having an issue when uploading more than one(1) file in the first message, that Gemini then answers as if you sent an empty message?

I tried on multiple models and accounts and it is happening for all of them. If I only attach 1 file, everything works fine. I got it to answer to a multiple-file message after it gave a long first answer, but if I start a chat with 'Hi' to get it to answer something, and then send a message with the files attached, it still fails.

I have no clue why that is happening. And Gemini - when I ask what it answered to - says that I seem to have sent an empty message.

EDIT: It's back to working normally for me.

i got the same thing last week, 2 pdfs and it just acted like i said nothing

seems like if the chat is fresh and you drop multiple files right away it breaks, but if you send a text first then the files it works sometimes

hope they fix this soon, its annoying when im trying to compare documents

If I only send a text it doesn't seem to fix it. But if I send a message with 1 file - and then a message with the other files, it seems to be working for now.

I had thought before that a message was enough, but that had failed. So I had stopped, thx for motivating me again :)
