WhatsApp has many advantages. The app encrypts exchanges end-to-end. It allows you to communicate with Android users. And it's one of the most used apps in the world, which means chances are high that your contacts are using it too. Furthermore, in recent years, WhatsApp has continued to be optimized for the professional environment, thanks to the addition of new features, such as the possibility of organizing group discussions, like on Slack, the possibility of making video presentations thanks to screen sharing, or the possibility of having a personal account and a professional account on the same smartphone.
On the other hand, like most messaging services, WhatsApp is not optimized for sending images. By default, WhatsApp will prioritize the speed of sending your photos and videos. And this involves compression of the file, which results in loss of quality. But WhatsApp has already partially remedied this by launching the possibility of sendingimages en version HD. However, as HD quality still involves a certain level of compression, WhatsApp is launching a new feature that allows you to send photos and videos in original quality, therefore without any compression.
No more need to go through a third-party service
This new feature was spotted by the WABetaInfo site. He had already discovered this new feature on a beta version. And according to a new article, the new feature is now available on WhatsApp update 23.24.73 for iOS on the App Store. At this time, this stable update may not be available to everyone. But in any case, if you have access to it, you should have a new way to send photos or videos.

In addition to compressed photos and videos, and sending in HD format, you have a new way to exchange images on the app: just go to a discussion, press the “+” on WhatsApp interface, tap Document, then tap the option to choose a photo or video. However, it should be noted that WhatsApp imposes a limit of 2 GB per file.
Note that it was already possible to send photos or videos in original quality on WhatsApp. But that required going through more steps.
