The popular instant messaging application WhatsApp officially launched the option to send photos in HD quality, which allows users to send images without losing resolution on both Android and iOS devices.
WhatsApp started this option for sending photos last January, making it possible to keep the original dimensions when sending, thus not compressing the photo and thus achieve higher quality.
In June, it was announced that WhatsApp began testing HD photo sending with some users in the beta versions of Android and iOS.
Now, as the company announced in a statement, users can officially send photos in HD quality on the Meta platform. This new option allows you to share photos in higher resolution, while also maintaining WhatsApp’s end-to-end encryption security.
Specifically, it’s a feature designed “for those special moments that you want your friends and family to enjoy down to the last detail,” as the company shared.
However, as they explained, to guarantee that the exchange of photos remains “Fast and effective”standard quality remains the default option with which photos are sent.
If the user follows this rule, if the user receives a photo while on a low-bandwidth connection, WhatsApp will allow them to choose whether they want to download with HD quality or if they prefer to keep the standard quality. In fact, this choice can be carried out photo by photo, details Europe Press.
With all this, WhatsApp has detailed that the high-definition photo feature will be deployed globally “in the coming weeks”. In addition, the social network has also raised that it will similarly implement an option to send high-definition videos that are “arriving soon”.
