Android... get it together!

My wife often sends short videos to me in text messages of our daughter during the day. They come through fine in iMessage. The alternative I suppose is to use Whatsapp.

Shared PhotoStream - create one for pics/vids of your daughter. Your wife can add them to it and you can add whomever you'd like to the Stream.

I'm really looking forward to this feature when my wife and I have our first child. Being able to share big moments with both our families across the country in a matter of moments in a relatively private manner (as opposed to FB) is really cool to me.

Plus I travel - so she'd be able to share stuff I might miss.

I know people love to trash it but Facebook Messenger works great for sending video and pics. It really has gotten a lot of features in the last year or two (being able to send videos being one of them).

Unlike needing the other party to have Whatsapp, etc, most everyone has facebook. Doesn't matter if they are on Android or iOS.

Unless you're trying to send something to my wife who refuses to download the additional FB Messenger app as a protest or something.....lol. She has like a dozen unread messages on there and says if the person needs to get a hold of her they can text/call her or send an email haha....

But I agree.

It would be nice if you could send large videos via hangouts. Right now, I have to upload to Drive and share the link.

You know I was going to put in a disclaimer about the "I refuse to install Messenger" crowd but I didn't think there were any left. Actually I do know one but he is on his laptop so much I don't know what point he is trying to prove.

I already do that mate
We set one up when my daughter was born and share it between our folks and my wife's brother. There's about 2000 pictures and videos in it now and it's super convenient for sharing when you don't want to do it publicly. We still send the odd picture and video through iMessage though.

Gotcha - cool!
