Let's talk messaging

Okay, lately I've been growing frustrated with the way my phone displays videos sent via messaging app. They come pixelated, small, gross. Because we'll, I admit, I have an Android.

So really I want to talk about what you use to help solve this if you're on an Android as well?

One thing I thought was to use Google Voice/Hangouts. But you have to get a new number and set it up that way. So it makes it a bit confusing for others on the other line. I also see GV can't send videos nor can they receive them!

I thought of WhatsApp but not everyone I know uses it.

Then comes out friend Facebook messenger. They allow you to use it as a SMS app, however what they don't tell you is it's just another app that does the texting at that point. It's not really any better.

So, I'm kind of at a loss here. Please don't tell me to get an iphone, that ship has sailed.

I currently use a OnePlus 7t Pro McLaren. It's a great phone except for the sms/mms messaging.
