WhatsApp has finally made the HD feature that we all use a default option. From now on, you won’t need to select the HD option to send photos and videos in high quality (HD). This change allows you to share high-quality content without adjusting the quality settings.
From now on, WhatsApp photos and videos will be HD by default
Last summer, Meta introduced HD sharing for photos and later for videos on WhatsApp. However, users had to manually select the HD option for each send. Now, this has changed.
Once you set the quality to HD for WhatsApp, this setting will apply to all your sends. This new feature is available in the latest version for both iOS and Android users. It will be rolled out to all users by the end of this month. If you haven’t seen the feature yet, make sure to update your app. How can you set this feature to default?
Using the new feature is quite simple: Settings > Storage and Data > Media upload quality > Select Standard Quality/HD Quality. Among these options:
- Standard quality: Faster sending, smaller file sizes.
- HD quality: Slower sending, file sizes can be up to 6 times larger.
However, remember that the HD quality option does not mean original quality. WhatsApp still performs a slight compression (resolution reduction). With the latest updates, WhatsApp has gained many new features, including transferring chats via QR code and five new theme options.
These innovations allow users to further personalize their WhatsApp experience. What do you think about this new HD sending feature? Don’t forget to share your thoughts in the comments section below…
