WhatsApp Now Supports Sending Images In HD Quality: Here's How To Do It

WhatsApp added a new feature recently - one that is bound to make everyone happy. Are you tired of compromising your picture quality every time you send pics on Meta-owned WhatsApp? Fret no longer!

Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg recently announced that users can now send images on WhatsApp in high-definition (HD) quality. Users can now send pictures to their friends and family in higher resolution - and these pics are protected by WhatsApp's end-to-end encryption as well.

Sending pics in HD on WhatsApp

For now, standard quality will remain the default option while sending pictures. However, you can choose to send HD images after you select which pictures to send.

To send pictures on WhatsApp in HD, simply head to the app and open the chatbox of whoever you're trying to send images. When you choose the images, you'll see an HD option on the top. Press it, and voila! All your images will be sent in high-resolution.

Many users have had to resort to Google Drive or iCloud to share images in their original quality instead of WhatsApp because the Meta-owned app would downgrade the quality of images. Now, this can be done directly from the app.

WhatsApp says that when users receive an image during low bandwidth connectivity, they can choose on a photo-by-photo basis whether to keep the standard version or download the HD version.

The feature is rolling out to users globally over the next few weeks. To see if you have the feature, make sure you're running the latest version of WhatsApp. The company also claims that HD videos are coming to the platform soon.
