Fri 30 June 2023:
Users will soon be able to send high-definition videos using a new feature being rolled out by Meta-owned messaging service WhatsApp for Android beta.
According to WABetaInfo, beta users will notice a new button in the drawing editor that will enable them to send high-quality videos.
While this feature preserves video dimensions, minor compression will still be applied to the video, thus sending videos in their original quality is not possible.
The default option will always be ‘Standard quality’ for all videos, therefore, users have to select the high-quality option every time they want to send a video with better quality.
The new option only appears when the users select a large-size video.
A tag will be added to the message bubble when sending a video with the high-quality option to inform the recipient that the video is sent using this feature.
This feature is not available when sharing videos through status updates.
The ability to send high-quality videos is presently being rolled out to some beta testers who install the latest update of WhatsApp beta for Android, and is likely to roll out to additional users in the coming weeks, according to the source.
Meanwhile, earlier this month, it was announced that the messaging platform was releasing a new feature on Android and iOS beta that allows users to send high-definition video messages.
