Hello Maria Magdalena,


It sounds like you have a video you want to copy and send in another message. You can copy a video by touch and holding on the image and choosing to copy the video. You can also look at all attachments within a conversation and copy to be used.


"Find attachments from a conversation 

  1. Open the message.
  2. Tap the name of the contact at the top of the message, then tap 
  3. You'll see Images and Attachments. Touch and hold an image or attachment to show options like Copy, Delete, and More.

To save an image or attachment outside of Messages, tap an image or attachment, tap , then select an option like Save Image or Save to Files. When you tap Save Image, it saves it to your Photos app."


Use Messages on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch


Cheers!
