WhatsApp rolls out original quality media sharing feature for iPhone users

WhatsApp has launched a new feature allowing iPhone users to share photos and videos in their original quality. This update is significant for WhatsApp for iOS users, as they can now send high-quality media without worrying about compression.

How the Feature Works

Previously, when sharing media on WhatsApp, the quality would often be reduced. Now, with the latest update, users can share their photos and videos without any loss in quality.

This feature is included in WhatsApp's version 23.24.73, available on the App Store. However, the rollout is gradual, so some users might not see it immediately.

Steps to Share Media in Original Quality

To share media in its original quality, users should:

• Open a chat in WhatsApp.
• Tap the "+" icon next to the text box.
• Go to Document ➝ Choose Photo or Video.
• Select the desired media and send it.
• It's important to note that this feature has a 2GB limit on WhatsApp file sharing.

No Previews for Shared Files

An interesting aspect of this feature is that there won't be any previews for the files shared. Users will need to tap the files to view them. This adds an element of surprise and curiosity to the sharing experience on WhatsApp.

Wrap Up

WhatsApp is enhancing the user experience for iOS users by allowing them to share media in its original quality. This new feature is a significant improvement, as it enables users to send high-quality content without losing any details.

However, users should be aware of the 2GB limit and the lack of previews for the shared files. This feature is part of WhatsApp's ongoing efforts to improve its platform and provide a better experience for its users.
