WhatsApp has been diligently addressing user requests by introducing long-awaited features. Following recent UI/UX adjustments based on Material Design 3 guidelines, the messaging giant has unveiled its latest beta update, version 2.23.18.12. A standout feature of this release, as reported by WABetaInfo, is the forthcoming ability for users to share photos and videos in their original quality. This marks a significant departure from the past where WhatsApp was criticized for compressing media, resulting in reduced clarity and loss of detail.
In the previous beta version, a limited group of testers were introduced to the “high-quality Photo sending” feature, which did exhibit some compression. However, the new update is expected to take this a step further by enabling the sharing of media in its original, uncompressed quality. This move is anticipated to address a longstanding concern among users and elevate their media-sharing experience.
To streamline the process, WhatsApp is implementing a user-friendly approach. The document selector for choosing photos and videos from the in-app gallery will be optimized for convenience. This means users will encounter fewer navigational steps and menus, allowing for straightforward access to the original quality media-sharing feature. Although currently in development, the eagerly awaited update is projected to gradually roll out to all users.
Beyond the enhancement of media-sharing capabilities, WhatsApp is actively pursuing innovation through its beta updates. Hints have surfaced regarding an upcoming revamped calling interface, the integration of AI-generated stickers, and the potential to schedule group calls. As users anticipate the newly promised original quality media-sharing feature, they are also curious to see what additional improvements and features the messaging platform will unveil in the future.
