    Try to get them to text them instead. Giant family text chains are a lot more fun (and chaotic) than generic social media.

      Yeah, text of his niece figure skating is the same thing as a video. Solid advice!

        You can put videos in a text thread. I’m on a 31-person thread that has been active for about 15 years. I promise there’s no shortage of videos.

          Do your text messages allow for decent res video of any running time longer than a few seconds?

          Mine don’t.

          By “text” here, do you mean Apple chat, SMS, or some other platform?

              no that matters a lot. if it’s imessage only it makes sense but if it’s a combination of mms/rcs/imessage, someone is going to get images consisting of like four total pixels.
