Messages app videos blurry when I send them.

Lately, when I send a video in Samsung Messages app, the video is blurry. The video is clear on my phone in Gallery and when I post the same video to Facebook, it is clear.

Help!

If RCS is not enabled in Samsung Messages, it is sending via MMS.

Use Google Messages and you won't have this problem!

What is RCS?

It's the protocol Google uses to send messages. It stands for Rich Communication Services. It doesn't compress your videos as MMS ( Multidedia Messages Service) does.

Thank you

You're welcome!

Google Messages is so much better, especially when sending and receiving from iPhones!

On Google, my video was clear when sending to one recipient BUT on a group, it changes from RCS to SMS (not SMS/MMS) and won't let me attach a video or pic 😔

Why when I share a video the resolution is blurry?
