WhatsApp will allow you to send photos in high quality. To date, photos sent via WhatsApp do not reach the recipient in the original quality: even if you send a high-quality image, WhatsApp compresses it and reduces both its size and quality, so as to speed up the transfer.
The end has come for Internet Explorer
However, things could soon change: both the Android app and also the WhatsApp desktop client will allow you to send high-quality images. There is already a first screen showing the exact interface of this new feature which will certainly also arrive on the iPhone in the future.
Recall that last month it was reported that Meta was testing the ability to send high-quality images via the WhatsApp Android app. Now it seems that the same feature could soon reach the desktop client. Well-known WhatsApp blog WABetainfo spotted the feature on the desktop version of WhatsApp, confirming that the feature is now under development. He also revealed what its user interface will look like.
It’s worth pointing out that users will still be able to send images using the usual compression. This will speed up the transfers and not take up too much memory on the destination device.
The company has been working on this possibility since 2021, even if it has not produced tangible results so far. Over the years the function has undergone several delays, but the multiple advances and also the screen that we report in this article signal that perhaps this is the right time. At the moment, the usual beta testing process has not yet started, but the source says he is certain that this will happen in the coming months.
Meanwhile, those wishing to send images in their original quality via WhatsApp will have to send them as documents. This is currently the only trick that allows you to achieve the desired result.
