Causes of Blurry Videos
Video Compression
Compression methods used to reduce file sizes can lead to blurry videos when switching between Android and iPhone. Different algorithms may lower resolution or quality, causing a fuzzy appearance on the receiving device.
Network Issues
Poor network connectivity can degrade video quality during streaming. Slow or unstable internet connections may lead to buffering, making videos appear blurry.
Screen Resolution
Variations in screen resolutions and aspect ratios between Android and iPhone devices can impact video clarity. For example, a video recorded on an Android device with a lower resolution may appear pixelated on an iPhone.
File Formats
Differences in how Android and iOS handle file formats like MP4, AVI, or MKV can affect playback quality. Some formats may not be optimized for certain devices, leading to blurry videos.
Video Corruption During Transfer
Video corruption can occur during the transfer process, resulting in playback issues or reduced quality. Interrupted transfers, software glitches, or hardware problems can cause this corruption.
Limitations of Messaging Applications
Messaging apps often reduce video quality to conserve data, leading to blurry videos. Some apps may compress videos more significantly than others.
