WhatsApp: How To Send HD Photos and Videos?

To send HD photos and videos on WhatsApp, follow these steps:

  1. Ensure you have the latest version of WhatsApp installed on your Android or iOS device.

  2. For videos and photos, follow these steps:

    • In a chat thread, tap the Camera button.
    • Select an image or video from your media library to send.
    • Tap the HD button located at the top of the screen, left of the other image/video editing tools.
    • Choose HD quality in the popup that appears, then tap Done.
    • Tap the Send button.
  3. For high-quality media management, do the following:

    • Launch WhatsApp on your iPhone or Android phone.
    • Tap on the three dots button on Android or Settings on iOS.
    • Select Storage and Data.
    • Tap on Media Upload Quality.
    • Choose Best from the list of options for media upload quality.
  4. Another workaround for high-resolution video sharing (iOS only), to avoid the temporary 2GB limit:

    • In a WhatsApp conversation, tap the attachment icon (Android) or the (+) (iOS).
    • Choose “Document.”
    • Select the files you want to share.
    • WhatsApp will send the files without compression, preserving original quality for files under 2GB.

Please note that HD video sharing in the standard way (not as a document) on WhatsApp may still apply some compression to photos sent via the HD Quality setting and cap resolution at 720p for videos.
