Hey Edwardenglishonline,



Thanks for posting your question about iMessage in Apple Support Communities!



After a quick search, it appears as though the file size limit is 100MB for iMessages, but can vary depending on the file you are attempting to send and if those files are stored in iCloud. If they are stored in iCloud Photos but over the 100MB limit you can share the file as an iCloud link which can be accessed by the recipient.

Best Wishes.
