HD photos come to WhatsApp: so you can send higher quality photos without resorting to Telegram

WhatsApp has taken another step in its evolution as a messaging app and is finally rolling out one of the most requested features by users. 2023 has been a great year for implementation, thanks to some exciting new features.

For example, they will allow two accounts on the same mobile phone, they will be able to schedule meetings and even create a sticker using AI. However, what is now starting to reach all users is something that has been on Telegram for a long time and finally we have it on WhatsApp: the ability to send photos in HD.

High resolution photos are coming to WhatsApp

A few days ago, we told you that WhatsApp is experimenting with the possibility of allowing us to send both HD photos and high definition videos. It was still something exclusive to some beta users, but today distribution confirmed for the whole world.

A few years ago, the app allowed you to change the size of posts, but the result was still not ideal. Now, Meta founder Mark Zuckerberg is tasked with publishing a post where he announces the option and also shows an example.

In the case of Zuck, the standard post (the only one available so far) has a resolution of 2,048 x 1,365 pixels, while HD has a resolution of 3,000 x 2,000 pixels. It depends on the phone because I tested it from my Vivo X80 Pro and the resolution is 1,600 x 1,200 pixels for ‘Standard quality’. 4,032 x 3,024 pixels “HD Quality”.

Submitting a photo like this is very simple as all you have to do is send a regular photo and click on the superscript that says ‘HD’ in the preview and edit window. That’s when it lets us choose the quality (if you don’t click it, it will default to ‘standard’) and that’s it.

The app itself warns about the weight of the images and… yes, we ran the test. If the same image is downloaded in different resolutions, the weight of the ‘Standard quality’ photo is 137 Kb, and the weight of the ‘HD quality’ photo is 352 Kb. Yes definitely, still not the quality of the original fileSomething you can choose to send in Telegram.

If you’re having storage issues on WhatsApp, have a look at its tools to lift some weight, but if you have the auto-download option enabled and you have groups with lots of photos posted, it’s clear that memory can be damaged.

But hey, it’s finally catching up on Telegram in a highly requested function by users. And voice chats with up to 32 participants are also not the only ones coming to WhatsApp recently.

If the option does not appear, check if the application is up to date.. However, if it is still not available, for some reason it may take some time to deploy to your region. These are the things that can happen with such updates.
