Why is it that when a video is sent from Android to iPhone and vice versa, the quality is extremely reduced?

It’s always seemed weird to me that photos seem to be the same quality as the original (or very close) when sending to and from the same devices. Thank you in advance!

It’s probably more about protocol than device. For instance, when texting between iOS and Android, you have to go through SMS or MMS, and those systems probably compress images significantly.
