Producer: Priyanka Das Editor: Manuj Yadav

WhatsApp introduced a feature allowing users to send photos and videos in high-definition (HD).

[{"selector":"#anim-67a2f0db-ff26-4c9c-9770-5d772646a5c9 [data-leaf-element=\"true\"]","keyframes":{"transform":["translate(3.4371327768283066%, 0%) scale(1.5)","translate(0%, 0%) scale(1)"]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"forwards"}] [{"selector":"#anim-bbf2be71-b0a8-41c4-b592-c43e66c44997","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-79184040-3641-4384-baac-aca6608ee504","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(-104.78723%, 0px, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}]

With the new HD feature, users can share compressed versions of their original media files in HD resolution, providing a significant improvement over the standard SD option.

[{"selector":"#anim-8d0ef902-f80a-430b-a725-6d3959b7dab7 [data-leaf-element=\"true\"]","keyframes":{"transform":["translate(-1.7083227196957032%, -20.83333206917478%) scale(1.4166666666666667)","translate(0%, 0%) scale(1)"]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"forwards"}] [{"selector":"#anim-4616b0d4-92d5-4708-afa9-fd627ba07061","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-85dc6fd9-e036-4bbc-a991-d922a68b57dd","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(102.28426%, 0px, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}]

Those who don’t know how to use the HD feature on Android may follow the steps mentioned below:

[{"selector":"#anim-fddd8eb7-14ea-4264-9694-645a97de88d1 [data-leaf-element=\"true\"]","keyframes":{"transform":["translate(-2.717391295780711%, 0%) scale(1.5)","translate(0%, 0%) scale(1)"]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"forwards"}] [{"selector":"#anim-b60e3085-6e74-4cfb-b151-34aa49da99a5","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-0359ec0e-a49d-4b69-8b69-119d6f4638d1","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(-116.82848%, 0px, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}]

Firstly you will have to open WhatsApp and go to the chat of the person you want to send the file to.

[{"selector":"#anim-111e6223-5f16-4e7d-bfa0-63b644e32653 [data-leaf-element=\"true\"]","keyframes":{"transform":["translate(0%, 0%) scale(1.5)","translate(0%, 0%) scale(1)"]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"forwards"}] [{"selector":"#anim-fbb77567-4318-4a26-be71-65a3f6d261ae","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-5aaffd61-a91e-487c-b2d0-9f90e54ff958","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(103.92669%, 0px, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}]

Once the chat is open, tap on the paperclip icon that should be present towards the right of the chatbox.

[{"selector":"#anim-6e65c1f6-dbce-469d-b4ac-2ef70b833ce6 [data-leaf-element=\"true\"]","keyframes":{"transform":["translate(0%, 0%) scale(1.5)","translate(0%, 0%) scale(1)"]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"forwards"}] [{"selector":"#anim-5a0ca2ed-f5dd-4adc-9f34-b3043b07fab0","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-407bad58-6e65-459e-b62f-365ccd91a4bf","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(-111.67665%, 0px, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}]

Multiple options should now pop up on your screen.
