One of the main advantages of the iPhone is its camera.
However, new iPhones are always distinguished by improved cameras that can shoot better and more advanced videos.
However, problems can arise if you want to send a longer video to your friend.

In iMessage, there is a software limitation for long videos.
It is about 4 minutes and 20 seconds.
However, there are cases when it is possible to send longer videos.
Lets take a closer look at how it works in the case of iMessage.
In addition, there are some BUTs when you want to send a big video.
I would even say its size is more important because that is where the problem lies.
It is worth mentioning that you might upload even larger files in some cases.
However, your video will be highly compressed in this case, affecting its quality and frame rate.
How to send video via iMessage
Let me explain how to send a video to iMessage.
Its not that complicated.
Using the Messaging app, there are two easy ways to send videos on your iPhone.
Pay attention that you could only send videos to contacts with iMessage.
Besides this, you will need a stable connection to the Internet.
Otherwise, the video will be long loading, or its loading can fail.
This is relatively easy and does not require downloading any additional software or creating any new accounts.
Another way is to send it using cloud storage.
it’s possible for you to send videos using Apples built-in cloud storage, iCloud.
However, there are some limitations here as well.
For example, I found that files over 5Gb cannot be transferred via iCloud.
If you better send huge files, I recommend using DropBox or OneDrive.
In addition, you could also use AirDrop if you are close to your recipient.
It is worth noting that this only works with other Apple devices.
