Yea, this is a USA problem. Elsewhere everyone just uses a messaging app of their network's choice.

I often have to wait until I see someone in person or have the. Send it through a different app for the video to work.
I have yet to get a conversation to switch to Signal or something to avoid the potato quality videos

It’s not entirely true. In Scandinavia for example, iPhone is the majority market share, on average higher than that of United States.

Apple could fix this by uploading the photos to iCloud and sending a link.

I always send an iCloud link for photos when I know that there’s someone who may not be using an iPhone. I’m not sure why others don’t. It’s especially useful when sending large numbers of pictures.

That’s what the Verizon messages app does, just with a Verizon website instead of iCloud. I found it very annoying and slow to use.
