WhatsApp is developing a new feature that will allow users to send photos in their original resolution and quality. This new feature will undoubtedly be regarded as a significant update that will significantly improve the user experience when sending images in a future version of WhatsApp Desktop beta!
WhatsApp is also working to add the same feature to the desktop app. Users will be able to send images in their original quality, preserving resolution and clarity. This is a significant improvement over the current image compression used when sending images. People won’t have to worry about their images losing quality or resolution when they’re sent.
Even with the addition of this feature, you will retain control over sending images. When this feature becomes available to beta testers, they will still be able to send photos using the standard compression method, which is useful for those who want to save storage space and is always the default option.
The ability to send photos in their original quality is in the works and will be included in a future app update.
