For a year and a half, we have been able to change the quality of the photos we send via WhatsApp with three modes: automatic, best quality and data saving. However, even the best quality option does not send them at the original resolution. It looks like that will soon change.
And it is that, although there are tricks to send photos on WhatsApp without losing quality, there will be a way to make it much easier and more intuitive. So at least the latest beta of WhatsApp on Android points to its version 2.23.2.11.
Sending photos by WhatsApp will not mean reducing the quality
We currently have several methods to send photos from one mobile to another and we could consider WhatsApp among the options. In fact, since they increased the sending limit to 2 GB, they have simplified things. However, it was still missing that the photos could be sent without losing any quality.
From WABetaInfo they report that in the latest beta an option has been added to the interface for sending images that allows you to modify their quality. It appears with a typical settings gear icon at the top, alongside options that let you rotate images, add emojis, text, or hand draw.

Once you have clicked on this photo, You can select the quality at which you want to send the photo at the bottom to the recipient, with the possibility of sending it in maximum resolution between them. Without a doubt, a definitive leap so that one of the most popular messaging applications in the world is no longer an obstacle for sending photos.
Yes again It remains to be seen if images larger than 2GB can be sent, which is the current limit WhatsApp has for files.. Although it is generally not the most common thing to have photographs of this size, it is not a utopia either. In any case, if intuition serves here, it doesn’t seem like it could be a viable option. We’ll have to wait for this feature to finally come out of beta and roll out universally to all users.
