    If they’d sent a link instead of the video itself you’d have seen the whole thing though.

      Which is more convenient?

      And this is 2023, why shouldn’t I be able to just send a video straight to another person if they’re the only one seeing it?

      I don’t support big grey making that decision for me

        You’re missing my point, but it looks like you’re not the only one. Your friend should have sent it differently.

            Nah I’m good. I’m not getting paid to be your tech support here, if you’re not going to pay enough attention to understand plain English that’s on you.

              It’s cool silly, at least I’m able to write cogent statements.

              Original statement was

              It’s not the color of the bubble. It’s the downgraded chat experience: grainy pictures, pixelated videos, and no E2EE.

              Our kid was at a sleepover, recently. We got a video of all the kids playing together, but because it wasn’t iPhone to iPhone the video was a low resolution pixelated mess.

              All you said was a half-coherent statement about sending a link instead, to which I attempted to respond. Now you can’t handle getting called out for having spaghetti for neural pathways, and here we are. Let me know if I need to buy you some crayons for further explanation.

              Good luck in life, looks like you’ll need it 🤭

                And blocked. I sincerely hope you’re not teaching those kids to behave as poorly as you do.

                    I blocked them for being a dick. Here, let me show you.

      The funny thing is MMS is effectively a link.

      When you send an MMS, it’s uploaded to a server via http where a link is generated. Then the link is sent to the other phone, where the MMS service retrieves the file via that link. We just don’t see it happening.

      Yes, but iPhone people are typically pretty tough to convince. The “it just works” branding is so strong that they think any flaw must be in the non-iPhone user.
