Soon, WhatsApp users will be able to send photos in original quality

Though WhatsApp is the most popular messenger app in the world, it has one of the most annoying shortcomings is that the photos or videos sent get compressed to smaller files and lose quality.

Though WhatsApp raised the 128MB file capacity cap to 1GB, it is still not on par with competitors such as Telegram, which caps at 2GB for regular users, and 4GB for premium subscribers.

Now, WhatsApp is also testing to allow users to send pictures in original quality, reported WABetaInfo, a community blog. 

In the latest Android beta v2.23.2.11, the messenger app offers an option – Photo quality when sending multimedia content.
