I do regularly. However apple users are largely the bane of this. Apple’s support for things can be very slow and spotty. As long as you keep it extremely old and basic. Say h264 they’ll be able to see. A lot of apple mobile devices could support h265 but apple doesn’t. My last couple of mobile devices have supported it for nearly a decade. But apple enabling it on their mobile hardware hasn’t been anywhere near that long. Apple will hopefully have AV1 support common by the time AV3 is released and AV2 widely supported by the 2030s.
Oh yes with respect to Avif you are correct. I was more referring to multimedia messages in general. But you are correct about Avif. That format in particular is not well supported a lot of places. I know Linux is probably one of the few areas it sees much. Windows is a much different story and I’m sure Apple desktops as well.

Apple only supports avif on paper and doesn’t actually support avif in iMessage in practice. It won’t display properly and they don’t care to fix it.
On the Android side Google Messages Doesn’t appear to support avif at all
