Wondering why there are videos in text messages Androidu blurry? With Google's recent push for other companies to finally implement RCS, and the fact that even mid-range phones already have great phones, we simply wonder why the situation is the way it is. Especially when it doesn't happen between iPhones.
Texting is now more complicated than it used to be, especially when sending content between iPhones and devices with Androidem. The quality of the media attachments you send can be affected by several factors - primarily the operator and the phone that you and the recipient own.

Why Texted Videos Look So Terrible
Multimedia Messaging Service, or MMS for short, is a way for phones to send multimedia content to other phones via text messages. This is a standard that was created in the early 2000s, at a time when the photo quality of most mobile phones reached only a few megapixels. Therefore, it is perhaps not too surprising that smartphones have outgrown this technology.

But the operators did not respond. So the main problem with MMS is that most of them have a strict size limit for them, which usually ranges from 1 MB to 3,5 MB. And you still pay for this extreme content compression service. In comparison, Apple's iMessage has a less restrictive file size limit of somewhere around 100MB. It is not sent via MMS, but via data. Since messages sent between iPhones also never leave Apple's servers, their quality is simply better than Androidu. Video content sent from iPhone to Androidbut it will be just as bad via MMS.

How to work around the problem
There is nothing to improve videos sent via MMS, as the size limits of the files transferred are enforced by the carriers. However, there are solutions that involve using other messaging protocols. These are, of course, communication platforms that will allow you to send a much larger file, even if it is usually compressed, not so dramatically. In addition, if you are on Wi-Fi, you have unlimited sending and receiving, otherwise the FUP is charged.

WhatsApp can send 100 MB, Telegram 1,5 GB, Skype 300 MB. It is therefore a clearly better solution, which is often cheaper and the result is of better quality. But as RCS (Rich Communication Services) takes off, MMS is likely to die. It is their intended replacement, only the operators must accept it first.

Google Messages is also experimenting with a new way to send pictures and videos via SMS/MMS by bypassing these protocols and instead automatically creating a link to Google Photos that the recipient can open in full quality. For now, of course, this is only being tested.
