WhatsApp launching most interesting feature for users across the World

Meta-owned messaging app WhatsApp has introduced a solution for its beta testers to easily share media without heavy compression, addressing a long-standing drawback. While sending media was straightforward, WhatsApp's significant compression was a notable downside.
Although it's been some time since users could share high-definition images and videos, compression remained unavoidable.
Finally, WhatsApp is providing beta testers with a convenient way to share uncompressed media. In WhatsApp, documents are sent without compression, allowing you to share uncompressed images and videos by attaching them as documents.
This approach necessitates using the Android system file picker instead of the WhatsApp media picker interface, potentially posing a challenge in locating media within your phone's internal storage if you're unfamiliar with its location.
Last month, WABetaInfo reported that Meta was working on a new option in the document sharing menu, redirecting to the WhatsApp media picker. WABetaInfo now confirms that this option is available to beta testers via the Google Play Store. With a 2GB file size limit, beta testers can confidently share images and videos without worrying about a loss in sharpness, detail, or color, as the images retain their HEIC metadata.
