When I send SMS pictures they default to 8MB which people complain about. The default SMS app doesn't have a setting for autoshrink. How do you do that?

That's not what he's asking; he doesn't mention any problem sending. The people he sends to are the ones objecting - could be _their_ carrier has a maximum, or could be they just don't like such big images. He's asking how to set SMS to autoshrink. (I've not used SMS imaging - I didn't know it existed! - but for most purposes related to 'phones, I can't see any reason to use 8 MB images.

It's just that SMS/MMS app pictures don't need to be that big. The camera can manually change the default size setting. But you don't want all pictures from the camera to be that size. You want only the pictures sent through SMS/MMS to be small. An SMS/MMS app should have a setting to autoshrink sent pictures. But my default SMS/MMS app doesn't have a setting for that. Does yours?

Which functions a bit like SMS with images, but uses a different mechanism. The only method I know that offers to resize images is when I email something with iOS mail.

MMS are not especially popular in the UK, even if you have a contract that includes thousands of (or unlimited) SMS messages/month, you are charged up to 55p to send an MMS.

Apparently they are popular at the other side of the pond, they can send them for free. Thus other messaging applications, such as Whatsapp, are less popular. -- Cheers, Carlos.

As said elsewhere, MMS is not free in many countries. So if you want to send photos free/cheaply a messaging app is needed. Group chats are also much easier to set up on WhatsApp. It's a nice feature that you don't realise it's usefulness until you try it. I'm a recent convert.

How much easier can a group SMS/MMS be in whatsapp than that?

You set up the group once in WhatsApp and everyone in the group can send & receive all messages. With SMS everyone needs to set up their own group. Plus functionally group SMSs are multiple texts not a single message. If you have large groups it can rapidly eat into your limits. There's no guarantee everyone gets it at the same time, either. WhatsApp also does voice/video calls.

AFAIK, group MMS (as opposed to multiple SMS) stays as a single 'thread' with each reply being delivered to every number in the distribution list.

You are proving my point :-) The advantage to Europeans is that Whatsapp usage is free, while MMS to us is about 50 cents each message. I have been charged 2 euros last time I tried to send a single MMS with a photo, to a chap across the room, just for testing the feature. MMS is a service of the telephone provider (and they can charge for it as they wish), whereas WhatsApp is just another app that uses internet. -- Cheers, Carlos.

Sure.
As long as you have internet, it is free, as compared for paying for
each MMS sent as it happens to me and most people in Spain.

Yes, they are the same company, but there is yet no issue known yet
about whatsap and privacy. The messages are encrypted, even they can not
read them.
Facebook app, yes, that one is intrusive. Not installed here.
