WhatsApp compresses all the images and videos unless you share them as documents. And many people get annoyed by the drop in quality of images and videos shared through WhatsApp. Last year, the app introduced the ability to share HD (actually 4K resolution) quality media, but you have to explicitly select that option. If you are tired of selecting the HD option every time, you might be in for a treat.

WhatsApp to bring the ability to select HD quality as the default resolution setting for sending images and videos

The Meta-owned company is working on a feature that lets you choose the default image and video quality for all your messages. WABetaInfo has found that WhatsApp is testing an option in the app's Storage And Data settings that lets you choose between ‘Standard' and ‘HD' quality for all the images and videos that you share. This feature has been found in the 2.24.5.6 version of WhatsApp for Android.

WhatsApp Android 2.24.5.6 HD Images Quality Settings

After thorough testing is done, WhatsApp could release this feature to all Android users. You can expect to see this option on your Galaxy (or any other Android) device in the coming months.

Right now, when you share images and videos, you have to select the HD option every single time if you want to share higher-quality media. Many normal users don't even know that this option exists, so many images and videos aren't even shared in HD quality by default. Once this feature is released the usage of HD quality might increase and it will make it easier to send higher-quality media for those who want to use it.
