Jakarta, CNBC Indonesia – WhatsApp is getting an update that will allow users to share HD photos via chat.
“Sharing photos on WhatsApp has just been enhanced,” Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg announced via the Meta broadcast channel on Instagram. “Now you can send in HD.” he added.
This feature allows users to maintain the high definition resolution of the photos they share with other users.
According to reports TechCrunch, previously WhatsApp was in beta testing with select users.
Earlier this summer, users looked at the option available via a beta version of WhatsApp on Android and the TestFlight app on iOS. This suggests that a public launch is imminent.
By default, Standard Quality remains selected. WhatsApp says the option is set by default to ensure photo sharing remains fast and reliable.
But now, you can choose to use HD quality to keep the high-definition version of the photo.

- After sending the photo, the recipient will see the photo, which will appear with the HD label appearing in the lower left corner. The label reminds them that you’ve shared a higher quality image.
You can also send HD photos that are already on your cellphone via WhatsApp. here’s how:
