Edit: NOTE, I am the receiver of the texts.

So many people asking me to have my wife do something different on her end.

Beloved, she is on iPhone because she doesn't want to do anything "weird." She is texting from her phone number using her texting app. That's what's going to happen.

Now, why can't I get iMessage on my android phone? If it's just a messenger app why not make it available for Android?

I'd use it.

SMS/MMS has really low file size limits, and iPhones may downscale a little more aggressively than required.

Just pick an internet based messaging service. I like Signal, but they all work.

The next version of iOS should add support for RCS which should allow for cross platform larger images as well.

Do you mean should add RCS as in they're expected to, or should add RCS as in "that would be wise"?

It is expected, it is already in the betas but may also require carriers to enable it as some beta testers found it wasnโ€™t available to them initially.
