Forget WeTransfer, Google Drive, this dismaying WhatsApp problem set to end soon


WhatsApp has always "optimised" media (cut its quality) before sending it to a contact or a group, but now the app could offer users the ability to pick the level of image quality they want to send. — 123rf.com

Do you share photos regularly on WhatsApp? If yes, you must have noticed how bad the image quality is. Well, this is a long-standing problem that has plagued this popular app's users.

WhatsApp has been downgrading photos and other media to keep its services running smoothly. Considering that it is used by billions of people, the load on WhatsApp was heavy and this was its way of dealing with the problem. However, after having driven everyone to despair, it looks like relief is finally near. WhatsApp could soon add a new feature that will solve all image quality issues and the change should be visible on your smartphone soon.

What is the new image quality feature WhatsApp is working on?
