Gone are the days of sending compressed images or complex email transfers for photos, as WhatsApp introduces its newest upgrade that allows easy sharing of high-definition (HD) photos.
Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg took to Facebook the announcement of this new and ‘much-needed’ feature.
“Sharing photos on WhatsApp just got an upgrade — now you can send in HD,” Zuckerberg wrote.
He teased WhatsApp’s new update with a video demonstrating how the HD image-sharing feature works through the app.
With this new feature, users will have the option to share images with either standard quality (1365 x 2048) or HD quality (2000 x 3000).
This update is set to become available globally over the next few weeks. Additionally, the company also aims to add HD video capability to WhatsApp sharing in the future.
