Send Photos and Videos in Their Original Glory: WhatsApp iOS Update Brings Uncompressed Sharing

For years, WhatsApp users have lamented the loss of quality when sending photos and videos through the app. Images would become blurry, and videos would lose their crispness, all due to the app's compression algorithms aimed at saving data. But finally, there's good news: WhatsApp for iOS users can now send uncompressed images and videos!

This long-awaited feature arrived in the latest update for the iOS version of WhatsApp. Now, users can choose to send media files in their original, unaltered state, preserving all the detail and beauty of the original content. This is a significant upgrade for users who want to share high-quality photos and videos with their friends and family.

Here's how it works:


  1. When selecting an image or video to share, tap on the "Document" option instead of the default "Photo" or "Video" options.
  2. This will open a file selection window. Here, you will see an additional option to choose "Photos or Videos."
  3. Selecting this option will send the chosen media files in their original quality without any compression.

It's important to note that there is a limit of 2GB for sending uncompressed files. This ensures that users don't abuse the feature and clog up the network.

This new update is a welcome change for iOS users who have been yearning for the ability to share high-quality media. While the feature is currently only available on iOS, Android users can still receive uncompressed images and videos sent by their iPhone-wielding counterparts. Hopefully, it won't be long before Android users also get to enjoy the benefits of uncompressed media sharing.

So, what are you waiting for? Update your WhatsApp app and start sharing your photos and videos in all their uncompressed glory!
