WhatsApp has introduced a feature that allows users to send photos and videos in high-definition (HD). With this update, the messaging app was able to resolve a long-standing issue for many people who struggled to maintain quality when sharing media files. Previously, users would resort to solutions like sending files as documents, which could be cumbersome and not user-friendly. With the new HD feature, users can share compressed versions of their original media files in HD resolution, which offers a significant improvement over the standard SD option.
