Mark Zuckerberg, the CETA’s CEO, announced the rollout of the feature on Thursday through a Facebook post. As soon as a user adds image to the chat, he will see the HD icon.
This feature was tested some time ago. However, it is worth noting that more data will be consumed while sharing HD images. Such images will also take more storage in the phone.
How does Whatsapp ‘HD Footage’ work
This feature of WhatsApp was first spotted by Wabetainfo. It is claimed that whenever users share photos, HD image will be a little compressed. Users will have to select the option of HD manually manually.
However, Meta has not told how much it will compress HD photo. WhatsApp has already stated that the HD images users will be secured with end-to-end encryption. Suppose you share HD photos to someone and if they have internet, then it will be able to download the standard photos instead of users HD.
Recently, the brand has also launched a screen-sharing feature during the video call. It looks largely like Google Meat and Zoom.
