WhatsApp HD Photos Option:

This new option will allow the users to select the quality of their images considering their data plan, it offers three options- Auto (recommended), Best Quality, and Data Saver. Talking about all these options the following things are considerable-

1. The default feature is Auto, which doesn’t show any remarkable changes.
2. The Best Quality doesn’t offer to send the images in their original quality
3. WhatsApp will still use the compressing algorithms on the images
4. The original image’s quality can be retained about 80%
5. Images larger than 2048 x 2048 might be resized
6. The image sizes will be more reduced in the Data Sever option
7. You can use the data saver option if you don’t have much internet plan. However, it’s not recommended if you want to share good quality images
