WhatsApp users can now easily share HD photos, new option released

WhatsApp is the most used messaging platform across the globe and millions use the app for sharing photos, videos and other media files. Although sharing photos on WhatsApp was always easy, it was difficult to share HD photos without using some tricks. The app didn’t offer any direct option to send HD photos, however, Mark Zuckerberg has now announced an end to that. Meta has revealed that WhatsApp users can now send photos in HD quality by using the new option that the company has released.

To ensure sharing photos over WhatsApp remains fast and reliable, Standard Quality will continue to be the default option photos are sent in. “Sharing photos on WhatsApp just got an upgrade -- now you can send in HD,” Zuckerberg posted.

If you receive a photo when you have low bandwidth connectivity,  you can choose on a photo by photo basis whether to keep the standard version or upgrade it to HD. HD Photos is rolling out globally over the next few weeks, with HD Videos also coming soon, said the company.

“For special moments that you want friends and family to enjoy in every little detail, you now have the option to share photos in higher resolution, all while protected by WhatsApp’s end-to-end encryption,” WhatsApp added. (with IANS inputs)
