News JVTech WhatsApp: better quality photos are finally coming, here’s how to do it
On Whatsapp it will finally be possible to send and receive better quality photos. A new function gives us the choice, we explain.
Finally better quality photos on WhatsApp
Whatsapp is the most widely used instant messaging application in the world. It is therefore not surprising to have many people in his entourage to converse with there complicated to give up or convince all your contacts to switch to another application.
Therefore, we have to put up with some disadvantages, starting with the quality of the images sent. I won’t tell you anything if we send a photo we’re proud of that shows a great scene while highlighting the main subject, the recipient ends up with a score far below that. It’s not on the abysmal level of Facebook Messenger, but it’s not great either.
A problem more practical for WhatsApp. Who says photos are of lower quality says less bandwidth used and faster sending. But sometimes we want to send nice photos that are as close as possible to what we did in reality.
As usual, this is the page WaBetaInfo Once again, anyone sharing this information with us will be blown away by the fact that this is a feature that isn’t even available for Whatsapp beta subscribers to preview new features. And this information is an option to change the quality of an image before sending it.

The screenshot above says it all: when you select a photo and just before you send it, A new small icon called “HD” will appear at the top of the screen. If you click on it, you can opt for the standard or HD quality, The second option is the new bonus. Note that if you send an image without changing the setting, it will automatically be sent in the default version. This feature is being developed for WhatsApp on iOS (iPhone) and Android.
Be careful, there’s a quack
Therefore, very good news that will have two logical implications due to the transfer of a heavier file:
- Any photo will take a little more time to send each other
- Every photo is consumed a little more bandwidth tickle the planet a little more.
If you expected to be able to send your photos in the same resolution as you took them, unfortunately this is not the case. WaBetaInfo expected it too, but in the end the selection of “HD” for the transmission of an image is limited to 90% of the base resolution.
And as usual with this kind of leak, no specific date is known for the introduction of this functionality. But since the interface design is already done, the wait probably won’t be too long.
