During my research on this subject, I found on the Apple website that when an apple product, specifically on the iPhone is sending a picture or video message, the Apple servers detect the file from their product and compress it to a smaller file. The server then will detect if the recipient is an Apple product and uncompress the file to its original state. If it is sent to any Android user or even a group that includes all iPhone products, the file will not uncompress leaving a low resolution pic or vid. It only works when sent to a single iphone contact.
