Just like the way you exchange high-quality images, WhatsApp now permits you to share videos in high definition as well. Nonetheless, the video quality is restricted to 720p.
WhatsApp has now unveiled a new capability allowing users to share videos in high definition. Just last week, the instant messaging service introduced a fresh feature, enabling users to transmit images in high resolution. This feature is now being expanded to encompass videos as well.
The platform, owned by Meta, recently confirmed to TechCrunch that the functionality to send and receive HD videos is presently being progressively rolled out to both Android and iOS users.
Much like the process of sharing high-definition images, the HD video function can be activated as you prepare to share the video content with others. Previously, videos on the platform were confined to a resolution of 480p. However, users are now granted the option to enhance the quality to 720p.
To transmit videos in high definition, simply tap the ‘HD’ button located at the top of the screen during the video uploading process. This action will present you with the choice to share the video in ‘HD Quality,’ accompanied by its corresponding file size information.
Much like text messages, calls, and images, WhatsApp ensures the security of videos through its end-to-end encryption. If an individual sends a high-definition video, you can easily identify it by observing the compact ‘HD’ label situated at the bottom left corner of the message thumbnail.
WhatsApp has announced that the functionality to share HD videos is in the process of being made available to all users. If you currently do not have access to this feature on your device, rest assured that it is expected to become accessible within the coming days.
In recent times, the company introduced a series of fresh attributes to its instant messaging applications. Some of these features encompass the capability to engage in screen sharing during video calls, partake in voice conversations within groups, modify captions of previously sent media, and even establish groups without designated names, among others.
