Since WhatsApp It became the messaging app par excellence, it also became the main channel through which we share images with almost everyone we know. What did you go out to party on Friday? Before the end of Sunday you will surely have all your friends asking you to send the photos of the night for “the group”. A family birthday? Some more of the same. But you have probably realized that there is a problem with this system: WhatsApp automatically puts you a compression to the imagescausing them to lose quality. ButFortunately for everyone, this is an inconvenience that could already have its days numbered.
As they have revealed from WABetaInfothe most reliable source to know all What’s new in WhatsApp, the messaging app will soon integrate a new option that will allow users to configure the quality of the photo sent.
For a long time, WhatsApp has allowed us to select the quality of the photos we send, being able to choose between three options: Automatic, Best quality and Data saving. But even choosing the option of ‘Best Quality’, Whatsapp compresses the photos before sending them. This new option is different: it will allow us to send them in full resolution, without any compression. Telegram, the great rival of WhatsApp within the apps of messaging, also compresses images by defaultbut since a while It allows us to select if we want to share them at their original resolution.
According to WABetaInfowith this new function, when a user goes to share a photo, a new icon will appear at the top that will allow them to select with what quality wants to send it. For now, This function it’s found in development, so we will still have to wait a few months before seeing it in a new update.
