WhatsApp adds feature to send photos and videos in their original quality
By ForGeeks WhatsApp, one of the most popular messengers, presented a new update that brings good news for users who want to share photos and videos without losing quality.
The earlier introduction of a toggle to send images in HD recently drew a cheerful reaction, but the files were still compressed before sending. Now WhatsApp has announced a feature that lets you share photos and videos in their original quality.
According to information from WABetaInfo, the beta version 2.23.18.12 of WhatsApp for Android has introduced an option «select from gallery» in the document selection menu. The new feature clearly indicates the ability to send photos and videos in their original quality. Previously, users had to use workarounds, such as changing file extensions to PDF or DOC, to achieve sending media files without losing quality.
The new feature is now available on WhatsApp for Android.
This change is long awaited and welcomed, as users on both Android and iOS can now share photos and videos in full resolution. It’s important to note that many competing messengers, including Telegram, have offered similar features before.
