WhatsApp has long been at the forefront of killing image quality, but the new HD photo feature is here to change things. This new feature was announced by Mark Zuckerberg via a recent Facebook post showing it in use. In the post, Mark also showed users how they could now step up the quality of photos they send to friends via WhatsApp.
This new feature is now coming to WhatsApp users globally via an app update. The update will bring a new button to the photo-sharing interface and with this button users can toggle between image quality. By default, photos shared with others via WhatsApp are sent using the platform’s standard quality.
Most images sent using this standard quality are messy and lose their original quality. With this new feature, WhatsApp will give users the ability to pick a different way to share images. This second photo-sharing option will retain its quality, hence ensuring that it gets to the receiver in good condition.

While this feature has been in the works for a while, it’s just making its way to end users. Some users in certain regions are already seeing this feature on their devices. Other users are yet to get this feature as it is rolling out region by region.
With this new feature, WhatsApp users will no longer worry about losing the quality of photos they share with others. By activating this feature before sharing a photo with another WhatsApp user, its quality will stay intact. Without the WhatsApp HD photo-sharing feature turned on, all pictures sent to others will lose their quality.
From Mark Zuckerberg’s announcement, how this feature can be put to use is highlighted. Users will be able to find this new feature in the image-sharing interface that pulls up before sending a photo to others. This is the interface from which users can edit photos before sending them to others.
The new WhatsApp HD photo-sharing feature sits on the top section of this interface. You will be able to find it between the ‘X’ and the crop/rotate button. Tapping on it will enable users to select to share the photo in HD quality, which will help retain its quality.
However, sharing photos using this new feature will mean they’d occupy more space and use up more data. Regardless of these facts, making use of the WhatsApp HD photo-sharing feature instead of the standard quality will be more beneficial to users. You will be able to access this new photo-sharing feature by updating your WhatsApp application via the Play Store or the App Store.The post WhatsApp HD photo sharing begins rolling out to users appeared first on Android Headlines.
