How to use WhatsApp HD quality feature to share photos in high definition
Meta-owned WhatsApp has started rolling out a feature that lets its users share pictures in high-definition (HD). When enabled, the images will be sent in high quality with minimal compression. Users will no longer have to rely on workarounds such as sending photos as documents which can be a bit of a hassle. The HD option is currently rolling out on Android and will soon be available for iPhones.

How to send HD photos on WhatsApp
- With the new update, when you share a photo you will get the option to send it in HD quality in the image preview screen.
- Selecting the “High quality” option while sending a photo results in the photo being labelled as high-quality. Consequently, a new tag is added to the message bubble, which aids the recipient in identifying when a photo is sent using this feature.

- This option is only available for photos that are of a large size. It should be noted that selecting this option does not allow for sending photos in their original quality. While the image dimensions are preserved, there is still a slight compression applied to the image.
- This feature is currently restricted to images that are shared within your conversations. It is not possible to send a video with higher quality without sending it as a document. Additionally, this feature is not currently available when sharing photos through status updates.
The messaging platform has been working on adding new features that make the user experience better, and some of these features are first tried with beta users before they are made available to everyone. You can read about them here.
