But if quality is more of a priority than convenience, they’re solid solutions. Most of these require an additional step beyond just sending an image off. But if you have a piece of content that you absolutely must send out in a decent quality, there are some good workarounds. A few alternativesĪs we mentioned, there isn’t any way around cross-operating system data compression. Videos are also heavily affected, and usually, end up extremely blurry and unwatchable. While data compression affects all images and videos, it typically impacts larger or high-quality images the most. Once you send something via SMS, your carrier gets involved and that data gets terribly compressed. This occurs because iMessage is incredibly well-integrated and efficient - Apple handles data delivery from one point to another. All it takes is one Android user in a thread to cause all the messages to be sent over SMS. The problem can plague group messages, too. Green bubbles are standard SMS messages.īecause Android devices can’t use iMessage, any video or photo send to an Android device will be sent over SMS. As you’re probably aware, blue bubbles are based on Apple’s proprietary iMessage technology. That blurriness isn’t as prevalent when sending media from an Android to an Android - and it’s non-existent when sending from iPhone to iPhone (provided iMessage is enabled).īasically, it all comes down to green bubbles versus blue bubbles. There’s actually a very noticeable downgrade in quality when sending content from an iOS device to and Android device. If your Android friends have ever complained about the quality of videos and images that you’ve sent, just know that they’re not exaggerating.
The problem Your Android friends aren’t exaggerating - sending across operating systems can result in blurry images.
