beta testing expiring messages in chat rooms, a feature comparable to some of Snapchat’s more basic functionality.
Owned by Facebook, WhatsApp has spent the better part of the year recovering from the fallout of a the updated policy rolled out, but with assurances that s could continue using the app without accepting the new , for now.
According to WABetaInfo, the 2.21.146 beta update is testing a few options allowing s to send photos over the app at a higher quality than usual. When accessing the “Media quality” section of the “Storage and data” setting, beta s can choose one of three image quality options: auto, best, and data saver. The "auto" feature will have WhatsApp detect the best compression quality for specific images. While perhaps not removing compression entirely, using the “best” option will allow the app to send an image at the highest quality available. The "data saver" function will result in the app compressing every image sent to ensure quick and data cheap delivery.
How It Fits In With Facebook's WhatsApp Goals
WhatsApp finally began testing s and app history to newer devices even more easily.
Currently, this functionality is only available to s in the WhatsApp beta program, which is full. Hopefully, over the next few weeks and months, both the video and photo quality features will be rolled out with more clarity around how well they remove compression from ed media. The workarounds needed to send uncompressed media through WhatsApp, such as sending media as a ZIP file through an external app, have always been less than ideal. So this is likely to be a welcome change by WhatsApp s.
