My wife has an iPhone. I have a Samsung S23. Why do videos she texts me look like super low res shit?? Can iPhones not text videos? (lemmy.dbzer0.com)

Edit: NOTE, I am the receiver of the texts.

So many people asking me to have my wife do something different on her end.

Beloved, she is on iPhone because she doesn't want to do anything "weird." She is texting from her phone number using her texting app. That's what's going to happen.

Now, why can't I get iMessage on my android phone? If it's just a messenger app why not make it available for Android?

I'd use it.

You both use Signal, problem solved.

Me and my wife do this and its pretty much the only person we talk to on there.

Its got some nice features to keep track of images and such. I was surprised she went for it really, usually 99% of the ideas I mention to her get turned down lol

Oh forgot to add, we also have android and iOS.

I had to double check that I didn't write this because those words could have literally come from my fingers.

I’m also the signal guy amongst my friends and family. There are dozens of us!

One of my wife's friends started a group chat there for some reason. Maybe the facebook app attacked them? Who knows but its catching on!
