This is the whole point. Apple chooses to fall back to an outdated system instead of one that supports higher quality media files.
And that's just one of the ways they provide a worse quality experience for everyone involved in a cross platform group chat.
There is really no reason for them to do that, except to force people onto Apple if they want to be part of group conversations with most Americans.
- latexr 4y ago> This is the whole point. It’s the point of the website but is not the point the person I replied to made. I replied to what I quoted, not the article.
- partiallypro 4y agoNothing you said contradicted my point. Apple forces SMS which nerfs videos, they choose that on purpose to inconvenience Android users. Android to Android works perfectly because they aren't using SMS, they are using RCS.
- latexr 4y ago> they choose that on purpose to inconvenience Android users. So you keep saying, but what’s the source for the claim? It inconveniences iOS users just as much since it only happens during the interaction of iOS and Android. I doubt Apple hates Android so much they specifically choose to inconvenience their own users to spite the competing platform. Seems to me a more likely explanation is that they don’t care enough or don’t want to implement the protocol.
