About 3GP and MOV
3GP: 3GP was designed for mobile phones in the 2000s. It keeps files tiny, which makes it perfect for old keypad phones, feature phones and very slow connections.
MOV: MOV is Apple's QuickTime format and the default for videos recorded on iPhone. Recent iPhones record MOV files in HEVC (H.265), which many Windows PCs and older Android phones can't play.
