WhatsApp brings yet another exciting and essential feature for its users across the globe.
The calling and texting platform has introduced a new feature that will let users send higher-quality “HD” images on the platform.
Meta CEO made the announcement on broadcast channel on Instagram saying, “Sharing photos on WhatsApp just got an upgrade.”
He further added, "now you can send in HD.” The new feature is rolling out worldwide over the next few weeks.
The feature has introduced so users can send higher-quality and higher-resolution images (likely still compressed from the original) from Android, iOS, or the web, and recipients on any platform.
High resolution pictures will be indicated with a small icon that indicates, it has also been revealed by Meta that HD videos feature is also next in line.
The publication noted that the feature first came to beta testers on version 23.11.0.76 for iOS and version 2.23.12.13 for Android.
In the example shown by WABetaInfo, the “photo quality” menu appears after tapping the HD icon.
It gives two resolution options: standard quality (1600 x 1052) and HD quality (4096 x 2692).
Meta hasn’t mentioned specifics about how compressed the images will be overall and how they will look when compared to sending images over Apple’s iMessage or any other competing platform.
