WhatsApp is rolling out a feature on iOS that will allow users to easily share media in original quality.
This feature will prevent the loss of details in photos and videos where maintaining the original quality is important.
Also, it will offer a better visual experience for recipients.
Meta-owned instant messaging platform WhatsApp has long served as a convenient and rapid method for sharing photos and videos among loved ones. However, a persistent problem has been the compression of these files, leading to a loss in quality. An alternative to avoid this limitation has been sharing media files as document files, although on iOS devices, this workaround involves navigating through more complex steps. However, WhatsApp is now finally rolling out a feature on iOS that will allow users to easily share media in original quality.
“You can easily send original quality media as a file,” WhatsApp mentioned on its official changelog on the App Store.
