Why phone videos are so big
Phones record at a high bitrate so the video survives editing, often 10 to 20 megabits per second for 1080p. A video for watching or sharing needs far less, so most of that size can go without a visible change.
Length matters as much as quality. Cutting a video down with Trim Video before compressing leaves more bits for the part you keep. To send a video on Discord, the Discord Video Compressor has the upload limits built in.
