Last year, WhatsApp introduced the option for users to send “HD Photos”, which retain their original resolution with less compression. However, users had to choose the HD option every time they wanted to send photos to someone – but that is not the case anymore. That’s because WhatsApp is introducing a new option to set the option to send HD photos as the default.
Sending HD media by default in WhatsApp
Both iOS and Android users can now set HD quality as the default for sending high-resolution media on WhatsApp. This option can be found under the Storage and Data menu in WhatsApp’s settings.
While standard quality reduces photos taken from an iPhone to 960×1280 pixels, HD quality keeps the image at its original resolution of 3024×4032 pixels. Of course, there is still some compression when sending images even with the HD option turned on, but the results are better than before.
To access these features, make sure you have the latest version of WhatsApp installed on your device. WhatsApp is available for free on the App Store. Keep in mind that it may take some time for the new feature to appear on your device.
