A few days ago, WhatsApp introduced the ability to send and receive higher-resolution images via its Android and iOS apps. Now, the company has confirmed that it has started rolling out the ability to send HD-resolution videos via its updated apps. It is also bringing more text formatting options.

Meta-owned instant messaging platform WhatsApp has confirmed to TechCrunch that it has started rolling out an updated version of the app that brings the ability to send HD videos. Specifically, videos can have a resolution of up to 1,280 x 720 pixels as opposed to the earlier 720 x 480 pixels resolution. After selecting the video you want to send, you need to tap the HD icon on the top of the screen to select the HD resolution setting.

Users would also see the HD badge next to the video, and they can decide whether they want an SD or HD version of the video, which would be useful if they want to get the lower resolution video to save space on their phone. Not everyone has started getting this option yet. It could be a phased rollout, and most users should be able to get the new feature within the next few days. The company has been testing this feature for two months.

WhatsApp is also testing more text formatting options (via WABetaInfo). Right now, you can use bold, italic, strikethrough, and underline options to format text. However, WhatsApp will soon bring the ability to add bullets, code blocks, and quote blocks to the text that you're sending or sharing with others. It would give you more options and a proper way to share things in a more pleasing way to look at.
