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?

My bet would be your carrier has a maximum.

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. There _might_ be a setting in 
the camera to use less than the most it can.)

You are right that I have no problem sending any size picture.
People have no problem receiving any size picture from me.
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?

Could you set it to a small size by default, so that you have to select 
large when you want it, rather than small when you want it? IMO, most 
pictures these days _are_ too large for their intended use.

I agree.

I don't have one; I'd never heard of SMS images until this thread. (I 
thought SMs were limited to something like 140 bytes, which hardly any 
images will fit within!)

The OP is probably talking about MMS. 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.

They are not more or less popular than here in Europe. How do you come 
to this conclusion or speculation?

I don't understand the advantage of whatsapp to me.

What does whatsapp do that my unlimited free MMS/SMS doesn't do?

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.

In SMS/MMS a 'group chat' is the same thing as a single person text.
All you do is hit the plus sign to add people.
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.

See? 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.

Yes and no.
If you use your own wifi or free public wifi, it's for free.
If you use mobile data, it depends on your subscription or
"internet bundle" when you use prepaid.
But you always pay with your privacy. whatsapp = faecesbook,
remember? Sure enough, if you use fb and thus don't give a
damn about privacy, don't worry about wa.

If it's available at all. Since 1-7-2017 the major telco in
NL no longer supports mms.

So does Signal, but without the privacy issues.

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.

I'm not talking about security, but about privacy.
And wa = fb isn't just a privacy issue, but a privacy disaster.
