tl;drI am using Android Messages (messages.google.com) to send SMS and MMS messages through my mobile phone directly from my PC (Windows 11). When MMS contains any animated GIF image that image is delivered to the recipient at a minimum dimensions, often barely visible. Can I do anything about this?
When selecting any animated image in at messages.google.com the dimensions of an example image are 77x137 pixels:
During sending the image is quite bigger and has 406x234 pixels:
But when sending process completes, animation is tiny and has 65x40 pixels only:
When the example image is received on the phone, it is much bigger (392x293), but so blurry that one can easily say that it is artificially enlarged tiny version.
My gear is Motorola Moto One (first edition; XT1941) with Android 10 on-board. I am using Play (Polish cellular operator; it seems that non-Polish website is not available).
What am I missing? Is this some kind of a bug? Is there anything I can do about this?
Could this be caused by the fact that my cellular operator supports some old version of the MMS protocol and only transfers animated images of a very low size (static, non-animated pictures are sent with much, much bigger resolution, but still far smaller than the original capture from camera).
