It will take just a few simple steps to activate the new WhatsApp function that will improve the quality of photos and videos for both iPhones and Android smartphones.
A few days ago WhatsApp has activated a new and interesting feature that allows you to set the default loading of multimedia files in HD quality. Thanks to this new feature, the final resolution of shared images and videos will be softly “compressed”, making the display of content much more suitable for the quality of our smartphone displays.
How to activate the new feature
At the moment this function does not seem to be available for all users, but it will soon be available for both owners Android devices that for those who use a iPhone. A little more patience will be needed and then everyone will be able to activate it and enjoy high quality images even on the well-known messaging app.
In order to activate this new WhatsApp function, which Meta has finally decided to unlock, we have to open our beloved messaging app and go to “space and data”. Then look for “average upload quality and then click on “enable HD quality”. Once this operation is completed you will always have shared videos and photos in very high quality.
For those who have an Android smartphone, just open WhatsApp and go to the chat list where the three dots are. At the top right you need to click on settings and scroll down until you find data storage. At this point let’s chat about it quality of loading of multimedia files and enable the check mark on HD. Save everything and that’s it.
The advantages and disadvantages of the new feature
Among the advantages that this new feature will allow, the most notable is the fact that the user, if he really wants to send multimedia content in high definition, will now be able to do so much more quickly and quickly, as it will not be necessary to check the “HD” option. In this way, the quality of the files sent will always be downloaded and displayed at a much better quality. Among the disadvantages to take into account is above all the slowness with which high quality files will be sent, with times that will be 6 times longer than standard quality.
Already in August 2024, WhatsApp had introduced a feature that significantly improved the quality of photos and videos sent, but until now the selection between Standard and HD quality had to be made before sending. The updated version of the app will instead allow you to set the default HD format mode, without having to make a choice each time. A real convenience that will make this messaging app increasingly functional.
