multimeddelande

Multimeddelande (multimedia message) refers to a message that can incorporate several media types—such as text, images, audio, video, and documents—within a single delivery. It enables richer communication than plain text by combining media elements and metadata in one payload. The term is used in Swedish to describe such messages across mobile and online platforms.

In telecommunications, multimeddelande is commonly associated with multimedia messaging services (MMS) used by mobile networks. Modern internet-based messaging apps and email also support multimeddelande through attachments or embedded media. Formats often rely on MIME encoding to package different parts and ensure correct rendering, while some mobile systems define how media is presented (for example, slide-like presentations in MMS using SMIL).

Key considerations include size limits, device and app compatibility, data costs, and accessibility. Users should be aware of potential privacy and consent issues when sharing media, and retention policies may differ across platforms.

Related concepts include MMS (Multimedia Messaging Service), SMS, email, and newer rich communication services (RCS) and other structured messaging protocols.
