If you pay for iCloud ($4 a month) you can send an iCloud link easily to any video that anyone else can access at full resolution

I realize this isn’t what you are asking for. But it works well and doesn’t depend on Google’s closed version of RCS

Pretty sure Apple will make the recipient sign up for an Apple account to view the content. At least it does this for notes sharing.

EDIT: Tried it on my iPhone and it does not require an Apple account, kudos Apple. It does show my full real name as others have mentioned.

long-time iPhone user here, i did not know this!

thank you for posting!

FYI for those others who don't know: click on a video in your photos app. click share --> "Copy iCloud Link"

That’s via email, right? Or is there something they offer in the messages app now?

  • you can send the icloud link via SMS or really anywhere, telegram whatever, using the copy icloud link button
