WhatsApp Introduces HD Photos for High-Quality Media Sharing

WhatsApp has introduced an update that allows iPhone and Android users to send high-resolution photos on the messaging platform, addressing the previous limitation of low-quality image sharing. The update includes an "HD" button that users can tap to switch from the default standard quality to HD quality, with a resolution of 3024 x 4032. Recipients will see a label indicating that they have received a higher quality version, and all high-resolution images are protected by WhatsApp's end-to-end encryption. The feature is rolling out globally over the next few weeks, with high-resolution video sharing set to follow soon.
