Sending high quality photos on WhatsApp is finally possible

Sending high quality photos on WhatsApp was one of the unattainable features of this messenger. Now WhatsApp has made this feature possible.

One of the most important weaknesses of the WhatsApp messenger is sending images with it. Because the program itself reduces the resolution, dimensions and quality of the photos sent. This means that users prefer to use other platforms to post their original quality photos. Now it is reported that WhatsApp has finally solved this problem and users will be able to send high quality photos on WhatsApp thanks to a feature called HD Photos.

Meta, as the owner of this messenger, says that when sending a photo, a new option with the “HD” icon has been added, when you select it, your photos will be sent in full resolution. Of course, by default, the image quality is set to “Standard” option to use less bandwidth of the users’ internet and transfer faster.

The amount of pixels is one part and the compression is another part. Although WhatsApp does not reduce the pixels of an image by enabling HD mode, it still compresses them. It should also be noted that in WhatsApp, all images (both HD and non-HD) are sent end-to-end encrypted. Also, in the lower left corner of the images that are sent with full resolution, a small HD icon will be seen, which, of course, will disappear after saving in the gallery.
