But no problems messaging to my phoneless Google Voice tho. My contact
is also unable to message me his video files to my iPhone as well. He
has a new Samsung smartphone while I have an iPhone 12 mini (just got
iOS v18.1.1 a couple nights ago). My video file is only 1.7 MB big.
What's the problem?

 

Ask his cellular service provider. They control SMS & RCS on his end.

 
We both use VZW. I think I fixed it by disabling RCS. Hence, why I never
had this problem before iOS v18 upgrade. I turned RCS back on, and now
it works. I have no idea what's going on! Did anyone else had this
problem before?

RCS is crap anyway. Use one of the well known messengers. RCS does not
respect your privacy nor can you be sure the provider of your
counterparty is supporting this "technology".
