Why Are Text Message Videos Blurry, and How to Fix It?
Have you ever sent a video to your friend, only to find out that it looks blurry when they receive it? This happens a lot, especially between Android and iPhone users. Let’s talk about why this happens and how you can fix it!
Why Are Videos Blurry?
When you send a video from an Android phone to an iPhone, it often looks blurry. This is because the video gets sent as an SMS message. SMS stands for Short Message Service, which is a way to send text messages. SMS wasn’t really made for sending videos or pictures. It’s like trying to fit a big, beautiful painting into a tiny envelope. The painting gets squished and doesn’t look good anymore.
The Problem with SMS
SMS messages can only handle a small amount of data. Videos and pictures are much bigger than that, so they get squished down to fit. This makes them look blurry and not as nice as the original.
No RCS Support on iPhones
Another reason is that iPhones don’t support RCS, which stands for Rich Communication Services. RCS is like a supercharged version of SMS. It can handle bigger files, like high-quality videos and pictures, without making them look bad. Most Android phones can use RCS, but iPhones can’t. So, when you send a video from an Android phone to an iPhone, it gets sent as a regular SMS message.
How to Fix the Problem
Don’t worry, there’s a simple way to send videos and pictures without them looking blurry. If you have a Samsung Galaxy phone, you can use something called Quick Share. Quick Share lets you create a link to your video or picture. Then, you can send that link to your friend with an iPhone, and they can view the video in its original quality.
Here’s how you can do it:
- Open the Gallery: Go to the Gallery app on your Samsung Galaxy phone.
- Select the Video: Find the video or picture you want to send and select it.
- Share: Tap the share icon, which looks like three dots connected by lines.
- Choose Quick Share: From the sharing options, choose Quick Share.
- Generate Link: Quick Share will create a link for your video or picture.
- Send the Link: Copy the link and send it to your friend with an iPhone. They can open the link and see your video or picture in high quality.
Using Quick Share is like sending a big, beautiful painting in a nice, big frame instead of squishing it into a tiny envelope. Your friend will see the video or picture just as you intended, without any blurriness.
The Benefits of Quick Share
- High Quality: Your videos and pictures keep their original quality.
- Easy to Use: Quick Share is simple to use and only takes a few steps.
- Works with iPhones: Even though iPhones don’t support RCS, they can still open links from Quick Share.
