MMS getting resized against will

[IXIKRONIK]

Thank you for taking the time out to read my thread. I always try to research issues, but it seems that no one has the same issues as me, which I think is strange. Firstly, I text on the default "Messages" app. This may be the problem, but I still think that there is a setting somewhere that I cannot find.

Okay, so when I try to send someone a picture or video over text, it will resize it to terrible quality. I understand that this is helpful to save on data, but it will still do this even on Wifi. The pictures that it send look pretty bad, and is sad because the phone can take pretty good pictures. The videos are horrible, and are usually unable to be made out to what they are.

I haven't really messed around with any other messaging apps. Would that solve this issue? Is there anyone that can recommend a good app for MMS? Or is this an android setting that affects all apps? I am unable to find any related settings on the phone or messaging app.

Thank you so much for your time!

It won't. Because that's the nature of MMS. This doesn't happen on iPhones because they don't use MMS to send pictures, but rather a chat server. iMessage is basically the same as Facebook Messenger, only it's exclusive to iPhones. Your alternative is to use Hangouts, or any other chat service to send the image.
