Google wants to send links to videos like Samsung does

By sending links to videos for viewing directly in the Google Photos app, Google would draw inspiration from Samsung’s messaging service. In fact, this approach is similar to Samsung’s Messages app, which has the ability to send videos via a connection using Samsung Cloud.

At the moment, it is not known exactly whether Google will prefer this solution. The other possibility is that a recipient receiving a Google Photos link in the Messages app watch the video in high quality directly from the chat window. For iOS users, the method should also be different, they will probably have to go through a browser to play the videos.

In addition to improving the quality of the content by allowing the recipient access to the original video, you can also send longer videos, because the MMS protocol currently only allows relatively short clips to be sent. This would be great news for Google Messages users, because The company also recently replaced the SMS protocol with RCS.that is no longer connected to the cellular network but to the data network. Google has also tried to force Apple to adopt RCS for security reasons, but the California giant has always refused. But Android tends to help Apple deploy RCS to end the war between the two platforms.
