In the current beta version 2.21.14.6 for Android, the always well informed blog WABetaInfo has hints of an exciting new feature discovered: Many users have been waiting for this for years, the popular messenger in the future should finally determine the quality of uploading and sending videos and photos.
Users are offered a total of three options: WhatsApp automatically selects the best compression algorithm to automate, the best possible video and photo quality is selected for “best quality” and the lowest possible quality is selected ” Data Saver” if the user is in Android-settings has activated the energy-saving mode.
The latter option is definitely helpful when using mobile data especially if you don’t want to crank up the data volume too much while sending clips or photos.
WhatsApp: When will the new feature come to your smartphone?
However, it will still take some time before the feature can be used in the beta or standard version of WhatsApp: the function is still in development. It usually takes a few weeks for a new feature to arrive in WhatsApp’s Android beta. The iOS beta starts a little later. The function will be released to all WhatsApp users only after both the tests run smoothly.
For some time now, WhatsApp users have had the option of adding a timer to messages so that they automatically disappear after a certain period of time. Messenger’s developers are now looking to extend this feature to video and images – but in a slightly different form. What you need to know find out here.
