WhatsApp has added a feature for iPhone users that allows sending photographs and videos as documents for original quality sharing, a capability that has been available for Android users for years. This update improves WhatsApp's media-sharing experience.

WhatsApp recently added a new feature for iOS users in version 23.24.73 that allows them to send media at its original quality. This feature, confirmed by WABetaInfo, allows users to handle media like a file, keeping its original quality and bypassing WhatsApp's compression for storage and data savings.

This enhancement builds on the platform's previous HD quality option, which allows users to transmit photographs and videos in their original, unmodified quality. This upgrade significantly improves on WhatsApp's normal compression for storage and data savings.

Here's how to make the most of the new feature:

• Update WhatsApp from App Store.

• Open chat and tap the '+' icon.

• Select "Document" from options.

• Choose the desired photo or video.

• Send media as a file, preserving original quality.

WhatsApp is testing fresh features that will allow users to transfer original quality files straight within the app, despite potentially greater file sizes depending on photo or video quality. This new feature is scheduled to be available shortly, providing it a simple and quick way to share media.

The iOS upgrade to WhatsApp enhances the user experience by enabling voice conversations within groups, indicating missed, continuing, and finished calls using chat bubbles, and allowing users to reply to statuses using their avatars. This feature adds a playful and expressive aspect to platform interactions.
