For many people, WhatsApp has become the go-to platform for communication. However, one of the issues that users have faced with this app is the poor quality of photos and videos due to data compression. But now, there are some solutions to this problem. In the past, users could choose to click on the ‘HD’ option when sending photos to improve their quality. Alternatively, they could send photos and videos as a ‘document’ from the menu, although this method was not very straightforward.
Recently, WhatsApp has introduced a new feature that allows users to set high quality as the default setting for all photos and videos sent on the app. This is a significant improvement over basic compression and will provide users with better quality images and videos when sending messages. To enable this feature, users can go to their WhatsApp settings, then to ‘Storage and data’, and click on ‘Media transfer quality’ to set it as their default setting.
It’s important to note that sending photos and videos in high quality may result in slightly slower transmission speeds and increased data usage depending on the connection speed. Additionally, WhatsApp has recently introduced enhancements to calls on both desktop and mobile devices. Users can now have up to 32 people in a video call, the speaker will be automatically highlighted, and the introduction of the MLoW codec aims to improve call reliability.
Overall, these improvements will make WhatsApp an even more powerful tool for communication and help users get better results from their messages.
