WhatsApp Update: iOS Users can Share Uncompressed Photos and Videos
WhatsApp introduced an iOS feature allowing users to share photos and videos in original quality as documents. Android testing since September suggests a possible release for Android devices soon.
WhatsApp is introducing a new feature on iOS that allows users to share photos and videos in their original quality by sending them as documents. This update, outlined in the official changelog accompanying WhatsApp's 23.24.73 iOS update, provides an alternative to the default compressed methods employed by the messaging app.
Initially tested with a limited group of users in November, the feature is now rolling out to all iOS users. The changelog specifies a gradual release over the coming weeks, accessible by tapping the "+" in chat, choosing "Document," and then selecting "Choose Photo or Video." Recipients can view the shared content within WhatsApp by tapping into the file. However, previews do not appear in the main chat interface, and there is a 2GB limit on files sent using this feature.
WhatsApp has been testing a similar feature for Android users since at least September, hinting at a potential stable release for Android devices soon. Previously, users had workarounds to send high-resolution media via WhatsApp, involving manual file extension changes to PDF or DOC. This update simplifies the process, offering users a more straightforward way to share high-quality photos and videos. While the release is currently specific to iOS, inquiries have been made to WhatsApp regarding the expected timeline for Android users to receive the same update.
