Using a V3 with an iPhone15.
I’m able to save video and events on my phone but cannot send those videos once saved on my device to anyone via Messenger, iMessage or SMS.
Is anyone else having this problem?
File sizes can be an issue. Everything has a file size limit. Messenger is 25 MB, but that should be fine for seconds-long clips. SMS isn’t really intended for videos at all. Even MMS can only do very small ones (300kB?) A 12-second clip is typically 1-1.5 MB in size.
iMessage should work great as long as you are sending to another iPhone. If not, it will depend on the capabilities of who you are talking to. For instance, if you are talking to a Google Message user, they now have RCS, which can do 100MB. But if it is a Samsung Message user, maybe 2-5 MB?
It’s terrible that you need to know so much to send a simple clip via text! Hopefully everything will become more capable in the future. In the meantime there are file-sharing services like SendAnywhere where you can send 10GB at a time!

Thanks for your feedback.
These clips are small. 12-14 seconds in length. It only started recently before any iPhone updates or Wyze ones.
Before that, I would send these clips daily.
Is there a problem with how these videos are being saved?
I just sent a small clip to myself via iMessage, it worked. What error indications are you getting?
