The WhatsApp It is currently developing a way for users to submit images in their original resolution without affecting the quality.
WABetaInfo, which Find out the featureReport users will be able to choose the image quality via a new settings menu in the application’s drawing tool. The current version of WhatsApp allows you to choose “Best Quality” before sending images to maintain high resolution, but it still compresses files – just to a lesser extent in order to provide faster data transfer times. But still, having this new level of control will be especially useful in situations where image quality is important, notes WABetaInfo. Not much is known about this feature, but it’s probably safe to say that sending photos at their original resolution will likely increase data transfer time, download time, and the amount of space needed on the device to store said files.
As mentioned earlier, the native image resolution feature is under development, so it won’t be part of any upcoming WhatsApp betas or launched anytime soon. It should also be noted that the update was detected on the Android version of WhatsApp without mentioning whether or not the native image resolution feature will come to iOS.
