You Can Now Send HD Photos On WhatsApp - HD videos could be coming soon after

WhatsApp has become an integral part of daily interactions, and among its array of features, the ability to share photographs and videos stands out. However, if you’ve sent a photo on the app before, you probably have encountered a drawback where the quality of photos often falls short of expectations.

If you have experienced that, you’ll be happy to know that WhatsApp's latest update introduces a game-changing feature—HD Photos. What makes it even better is that you can choose whether or not you want to send a photo in a higher resolution or standard, and it will still maintain WhatsApp's end-to-end encryption, ensuring the privacy and security of shared content. 

To send an HD photo to your friends and family, all you have to do is tap the "HD" option located at the top of the image before sending it (as shown in the image above). But bear in mind that, the HD photos you send will occupy more storage space for the recipient. When they get the photo, a distinctive "HD" tag is located at the bottom left of the image and acts as a visual cue, informing them of the high-resolution quality. 

Another thing you’ll be pleased to know is that this feature is already available, and both iOS and Android users can anticipate this update, provided they've updated WhatsApp to the latest version. With the ability to share and receive high-definition photos, the platform has unlocked new dimensions of clarity and detail, especially since this update also means you can send clearer text-based images, and in the nearby future, there could also be another similar update for HD videos.
