WhatsApp has a special treat for iPhone users this festive season, as they can now share high-quality photos and videos.
This feature, originally exclusive to Android users, is gradually rolling out to iOS users.
WABetaInfo, a WhatsApp feature tracking website, initially spotted this update, which allows iOS users to send photos and videos as documents to maintain original quality and enhance security.
No More Quality Loss
In the latest WhatsApp beta for iOS 23.23.1.74 update, accessible through the TestFlight app, a select group of iOS users now have the ability to select photos and videos from their galleries and send them as documents.
This innovative approach sidesteps the usual compression process that often reduces the quality of shared media, ensuring that your content remains unaltered.
Share Larger Files
WhatsApp is now permitting the sharing of documents up to 2GB in size, a significant upgrade.
This feature was spotted in WhatsApp Beta for iOS 23.3.0.76 update, and although its availability is currently limited, it’s expected to reach all users in the coming weeks.
This enhancement is especially beneficial for users who wish to share photos and videos in their original, high-quality format.
