What a crock of nonsense. The interest of the consumer would be better served by not sending potato quality images and videos to Android users.

- wvenable 4y agoAs Tim Cook would say, if they don't want potato quality images they could just buy an iPhone.

- dwaite 4y agoWhat's the problem in using a third party messaging app, vs messaging systems locked to platforms like iMessage on iPhone or Google RCS on Android?
- howinteresting 4y agoAmericans are, to a first approximation, lazy and won't download another app. However I hear things are changing. Plenty of teens on Discord.
- Spivak 4y agoDo they send worse images than an Android would send over MMS? Because even on Android I wouldn’t send pictures over MMS because they’ll be scaled down.
- howinteresting 4y agoYes. iOS sends videos as 3gpp, Android as MP4. https://www.reddit.com/r/Android/comments/rjg47l/google_messages_sends_mms_video_in_much_higher/ https://www.reddit.com/r/Android/comments/rjg47l/google_mess... Neither is great but Android MMS is much better. And of course RCS is better still. And Google Messages let's you automatically upload videos to Google Photos and let you share them with a link. The affordances to send high quality video are significantly better on Android. (I don't use any of the above, instead preferring to use Signal.)
