So since pie (and including the last few betas of Pie that I was on before Canada released the official) everytime I take a screenshot and go send it to someone via text it makes it so compressed that the quality is awful, and any words on the screenshot are almost unreadable I'm pretty sure in oreo it wasn't like this. I'm on Roger's with a S9+ anyone else notice this? 

Ps.. I get that text compresses files ect. But I don't recall it was so bad on oreo.

What is the size of the sent screenshots?

A screenshot I sent via text message to a friend weighed 500KB. Yours may be downsized to something under 100KB.

I am on Rogers too, S Messages

EDIT: Tried to send a screenshot. Size was 700KB. Original is 1MBb2dee773-7733-4045-9280-0f37135a8158.jpg

I forgot to mention its S messages I use. and I took a screenshot and went to send it to myself and its apx 792kb and when I attach it to a text it looks awful.

I checked and it shrunk it to 82kb lol
any way to prevent it shrinking it that low!?

and to make things more confusing. my significant other who also is on Roger's and has a S9+ and uses Samsung messages, when she sends stuff it works fine it doesnt compress as much.
