It's very simple: The level of compression of MMS messages is decided by each carrier. So when someone on AT&T send an MMS to someone on Verizon (or the other way around), the received video will be compressed at a different level. > "Texting from Android to Android will see minor compression, > but it's compounded when going from iPhone to Android or > from Android to iPhone, since Apple's system gets in the way." > <https://www.macworld.com/article/232714/how-to-text-iphone-videos-that-are-not-blurry-on-android-and-vice-versa.html> You apparently missed the two paragraphs just before that: "The phenomenon can also affect group messages. As they say, once bad apple can spoil the bunch, so if one of the recipients in your group is on an Android phone, then the entire message will be sent over SMS. Hence, all users will see blurry, barely watchable videos, even iPhone users with iMessages enabled. What gives? While it might seem like it’s the result of sabotage between platforms, that’s not the case. It has to do with compression. Apple handles the iPhone-to-iPhone delivery of texted videos, so no matter the size, videos are sent and received in their original quality. However, that’s not the case when not using Apple’s system from start to finish—your carrier gets in the way, and that’s when things break down." What the next paragraph you quoted is saying is when group messaging with Android users, images and videos sent to them are sent as MMS messages and therefore get compressed based on their carrier's MMS file size limitations. Learn to read for comprehension. -- E-mail sent to this address may be devoured by my ravenous SPAM filter. I often ignore posts from Google. Use a real news client instead. JR
