MEDIA UPLOAD QUALITY
In the article about the WhatsApp beta for Android 2.24.7.17 update, we announced that WhatsApp was rolling out a feature to manage media upload quality. This feature was designed to offer users greater control over their sharing experience, ensuring that important details within their photos and videos are always preserved. It appears that WhatsApp now intends to offer iOS users the same opportunity to manage media upload quality as it does for the Android version. Thanks to the latest WhatsApp beta for iOS 24.11.10.78 update, which is available on the TestFlight app, we discovered that WhatsApp is rolling out the feature to manage media upload quality!
As you can see from the attached screenshot, a new option to choose the default quality of photos and videos is now available within the storage and data section on the iOS app. Selecting the standard quality option allows for faster sharing with smaller file sizes, while the high-quality option ensures that photos and videos are shared with enhanced clarity and fidelity, preserving important details. However, it's worth noting that the high-quality option does not allow users to share media in its original quality directly. To do this, users need to share photos and videos as documents to maintain their original quality.
We believe this feature offers significant benefits by eliminating the need for manually adjusting settings for every images and videos, adding a layer of convenience to the user experience. We believe that this feature finally enhances the sharing process by addressing the concerns of users who prioritize quality over speed in their media uploads. Whether users are sharing media with friends or family, having the flexibility to adjust upload quality ensures that every shared media maintains its clarity. It's also important to mention that the high-quality setting allows users to send media that can be up to 6 times larger, and it's slower to send due to the increased file size and higher resolution. This ensures that the media retains more detail and clarity, but it also requires more time and data to upload and share.
The feature to manage media upload quality is available to some beta testers who install the latest version of WhatsApp beta for iOS from the TestFlight app, and it's rolling out to more people over the coming days.
