Similar to how edited messages in WhatsApp are marked with text saying they have been edited, HD images will also have an icon which denotes that it was shared in high quality. — Photo by Sumaid pal Singh Bakshi on Unsplash

WhatsApp is now rolling out a new feature which enables users to send photos in HD on both iOS TestFlight and the Android beta.

The feature can be enabled when sharing a large image file with a contact or group by tapping the HD photo icon prior to sending the message and choosing between standard or HD quality.
