Google appears to be working on adding “HD” and “HD+” icons to the Messages app, allowing you to choose photo resolution.

      I’d prefer not. My phone camera makes 10mb photos. I don’t want to wait that long to send a quick photo, and storage needed to keep the conversation history can unnecessarily get out of hand.

      If i want ro share full res photos, I’ll use Google photos. For sending a quick snap, smaller is fine.

      Having the option would be best. If you are trying to save on data or have a slow connection, a lower red image might be preferred.
