First thing that pops into my head... Check this setting for starters. Settings>photos> Scroll all the way to the bottom there is a setting called "Transfer to Mac or PC" Set to "Automatic" That is supposed to allow transfer in a compatible format. Directions from a phone running the current most iOS. Collecting dust. | |||

I’ve always had better lucking using a third patty app when doing a transfer like that. I’ll usually send it via Signal in that case. | |||

What is the soup du jour? |
I cannot address your problem specifically, but when I had problems sending videos to cellphones, or when I wanted to send to multiple people, I found it easier to simply upload my video to a hosting site and then message the link to the hosting site. Keeps bandwidth down too. | |||

I have an iPhone. I have several great videos I want to text to friends. Many of them are too long to text to an Android phone. If iMessage is turned on, I can send very large files via text to someone. It may be file size/length of video that is preventing you from sending it. The “lol” thread | |||

I think iMessage uses the internet to send videos to other iPhone users instead of SMS but when it goes to a non iPhone user it has to downgrade it to send via SMS. I use WhatsApp to send big videos to friends. https://www.xfinity.com/hub/mo...0on%20Android%20too.) I'm gonna vote for the funniest frog with the loudest croak on the highest log. | |||

Instagram works for long videos between people also. iPhone to android or reverse ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Live today as if it may be your last and learn today as if you will live forever | |||

Fighting the good fight |
Very close. iPhone-to-iPhone messaging and file transfer utilizes Apple's proprietary iMessage system, which allows for large uncompressed videos to be sent between Apple devices. But iPhone-to-Android (and vice versa) has to downgrade to the standardized SMS/MMS messaging system that all phones support. SMS is for text-only messages while MMS is for multimedia messages that include stuff like images and videos. MMS doesn't allow for large uncompressed videos, so some video files won't send at all, and others that do send will be heavily compressed to the point where they're basically unviewable by the recipient of the MMS. So as stated, the workarounds are either to have both people utilize a third party messaging app like WhatsApp/Signal/GroupMe/etc., or else upload it to a video hosting or social media site and just text them a weblink. | |||

Try this. On your iPhone, open settings, scroll down to Messages, then down to Send as SMS and toggle that on if it is not. Same for MMS Messaging on that page. May not work for videos, but if you've got 'droids in your circle will help with pics, etc. You only have integrity once. - imprezaguy02 | |||
