Do we really need more compression codecs? Aren't there enough to contend with already? How many do operating systems support them right now?

I don’t think they are inventing a new codec per se. Rather they are trying to use AI/ML to intelligently compress each scene. Important features like peoples faces would be lightly compressed whereas background scenes like the sky could have greater compression without a discernible loss in viewing fidelity. 

Has anyone even tried to APP before commenting?
1. The APP is optional. You don’t have to install it. You’re iPhone will work fine in India without it. 
2. Even after installing it, you have to go to settings and enable it
3. The APP makes it easy to report SPAM. In what way is this bad? When you report spam phone calls or SMS, you have to share the caller’s phone number & your phone number. How else are they going to keep track of the spammers? With a spam SMS, you have to share the content of of the message. 
4. Once again, this is all optional. You don’t have to do any of this.
