WhatsApp HD Video Sending Option: What Is It? How To Use?

As the name suggests, the new WhatsApp feature will allow the users to send high quality video directly from the mobile app. Until now, the videos sent using both Android and iOS WhatsApp app were compressed before sharing by default. This was done in order to prevent excess storage clogging and swift functioning of the application despite frequent media sharing.

Now, WhatsApp has added the option with which users will be able to send HD quality videos to any of the contacts using the app. It wouldn’t require users to go with the workaround to share high quality videos with their desired contacts. For reference, media sharing on WhatsApp has been standard all this while and users have been demanding the feature to send HD photos/videos since long.

While the HD photo sharing option was released earlier this month, the video sending option is finally making its way to Android and iOS ecosystem. Notably, the videos sent using the standard mode on WhatsApp until now maxed out at 480p. This has been the case with all videos including the ones that are shot with high-end camera phones.

With this new feature at place, WhatsApp uses will now be able to send 720p HD videos to any of the contacts. Nevertheless, there will be still some level of compressions with the sent videos. This is because the WhatsApp app still doesn’t allow sharing 1080p FHD or 4K UHD videos. We are not sure if WhatsApp will allow sharing videos in this high-resolution anytime soon but we can expect some developments around the same in the coming years.
