How To Send HD Quality Photos And Videos On WhatsApp

WhatsApp introduced a feature allowing users to send photos and videos in high-definition (HD). With this update, the messaging app was able to address a longstanding issue for many who struggled to maintain quality while sharing media files. Previously, users resorted to workarounds like sending files as documents, which could be cumbersome and not user-friendly.
