Pictures and videos are sent in full quality if they are sent over WiFi. If not, the images and videos could be compressed depending on what your cellular carrier requires.

- lotsofpulp 4y agoThat is news to me. I had peace of mind thinking that iMessage sends in full quality. At least it should make it known that it was not sent as the original. Edit: it seems like the way to ensure sharing photos/video at original quality in iOS/macOS is to select the media in photos app, and then share, and then select “copy iCloud link”.
- booi 4y agoAFAIK, anything shared via iCloud is not original quality > When shared, photos are reduced to 2048 pixels on the long edge, except panoramic photos, which can be up to 5400 pixels wide. You can share GIFs that are 100MB or smaller. https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT202786 https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT202786
- lotsofpulp 4y agoDamn, I am wrong again. Guess the only quick, integrated way is Airdrop if the other person is nearby. I do not see a material advantage of iMessage over WhatsApp now.
