I already told you that, dingus. You're not revealing anything new here.
Try and keep up. I know it's hard for you.

If you had bothered to read on, the following paragraphs tell you the
answer:

"This occurs because iMessage is incredibly well-integrated and
efficient — Apple handles data delivery from one point to another. Once
you send something via SMS, *your carrier gets involved* and that data
gets *terribly compressed*.

While data compression affects all images and videos, it typically
impacts *larger or high-quality images the most*. Videos are also heavily
affected, and usually, end up extremely blurry and unwatchable."

Your conclusion is wrong. It's not "Apple's system" reducing quality.
