One of the touted benefits of iPhones adopting RCS messaging in iOS 18 is that users will be able to send images to Android phones without compression and loss of quality. But you may not know that Google Messages also compresses images over RCS, but thankfully it seems Google’s taking this opportunity to fix that glaring issue.
At the moment Google Messages prohibits image sharing if the file is over 2,048 pixels tall. The “Send photos faster” option further reduces that to 1,600 pixels with additional compression.
