However, if the &#8220;Send photos faster&#8221; option is activated, the images will be compressed to 2,408 pixels and the JPEG quality will be reduced to 90. Currently, this option compresses images to 1,600 pixels, which greatly alters the details. It is currently unknown when these changes would take place.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full is-resized\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/articles-img.sftcdn.net\/sft\/articles\/auto-mapping-folder\/sites\/2\/2024\/07\/google-messages-rcs-image-compression-912w-1440h.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-336306\" style=\"width:380px;height:auto\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This compression limitation is not directly associated with the RCS protocol. Other messaging applications like <strong>Samsung Messages<\/strong> also use this protocol without imposing similar restrictions. <strong>The responsibility for this limitation lies solely with Google<\/strong>. If the company goes ahead with the change, a visible difference in the quality of images sent through their messaging app could be noticed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The exact reason for this limitation is not known, but now Google seems willing to change it. The recent decision by Apple to integrate RCS support into its Messages app with iOS 18 may have influenced this measure by Google. In addition, a major update from GSMA for RCS could reduce the messaging gap between Android and iPhone, benefiting users of both operating systems when sending high-quality images.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"sc-card-program\">\r\n  <div class=\"sc-card-program__body\">\r\n    <div class=\"sc-card-program__row clearfix\">\r\n      <div class=\"sc-card-program__col-logo\">\r\n        <img decoding=\"async\" class=\"sc-card-program__img\" alt=\"Google Messages\" src=\"https:\/\/images.sftcdn.net\/images\/t_app-icon-s\/p\/a1390898-9b6a-11e6-bdfa-00163ec9f5fa\/3556772561\/messenger-logo\" width=\"100px\" height=\"100px\">\r\n      <\/div>\r\n      <div class=\"sc-card-program__col-title\">\r\n        <span class=\"sc-card-program__title\">Google Messages<\/span>\r\n        <a class=\"sc-card-program__button sc-card-program-internal\" href=\"https:\/\/messenger.en.softonic.com\/android\" target=\"_self\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">DOWNLOAD<\/a>\r\n      <\/div>\r\n      <div class=\"sc-card-program__col-rating\">\r\n        <svg class=\"rating-score__content\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" version=\"1.1\" x=\"0\" y=\"0\" viewbox=\"0 0 50 50\" enable-background=\"new 0 0 50 50\" xml:space=\"preserve\"><path class=\"rating-score__background rating-score--good\" fill=\"none\" stroke-width=\"6\" stroke-miterlimit=\"10\" d=\"M40 40c8.3-8.3 8.3-21.7 0-30s-21.7-8.3-30 0 -8.3 21.7 0 30\"><\/path><path class=\"rating-score__value rating-score__value--0\" fill=\"none\" stroke-width=\"6\" stroke-dashoffset=\"0\" stroke-miterlimit=\"10\" d=\"M40 40c8.3-8.3 8.3-21.7 0-30s-21.7-8.3-30 0 -8.3 21.7 0 30\"><\/path><text class=\"rating-score__number\" content=\"\" text-anchor=\"middle\" transform=\"matrix(1 0 0 1 25 31.0837)\" data-auto=\"app-user-score\"><\/text><\/svg>\r\n      <\/div>\r\n    <\/div>\r\n    <div class=\"sc-card-program__row\">\r\n      <span class=\"sc-card-program__description\"><\/span>\r\n    <\/div>\r\n    <div class=\"sc-card-program__row\">\r\n      <img decoding=\"async\" class=\"sc-card-program__bigpic\" src=\"\" onerror=\"this.style.display='none'\">\r\n    <\/div>\r\n    <a class=\"sc-card-program__link track-link sc-card-program-internal\" href=\"https:\/\/messenger.en.softonic.com\/android\" target=\"_self\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><\/a>\r\n  <\/div>\r\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Google could be working on improving the image sending experience through its app Google Messages, according to a detailed analysis by Android Authority.
