With a hopping of 2 Bn active monthly users, Facebook founder Zuckerberg-owned WhatsApp is regularly updating its interface and making it more end-user-friendly. The instant messaging app was initially founded by Brian Acton and Jan Koum, the two former employees of Yahoo!. Though it was based out of the USA, currently, it has a huge user base worldwide. Except for few countries like China, Iran, Turkey, and Brazil, this app is accessible from most of the countries.
In the year of 2014, this company was acquired by Facebook for approximately 19.3 Bn USD. Though initially, the update curve was a little flat, currently the app is getting updated very frequently. Recently we just learned about the disappearing mode in WhatsApp, which is already rolled out in its Beta version for testing.
WhatsApp already released the latest version(2.21.12.21) on the Play Store and the Apple store. This version is rolled out and this lets the users control the speed of the received or sent audio. You can listen to the received voice message at 1x, 1.5x, and 2x speed.
Enough talking! Let us get back to the Title of the post.
WhatsApp is reportedly working on the feature where it will let the users select the video quality before sending it. Yes, you heard it right. It was really a pain in the arse if you wanted to share any video with your expected quality as WhatsApp like any other app used to compress the same to the lowest quality. Though this feature is initially coming to be applicable for the videos only, we are hoping that the feature will be ported to images and GIFs too.
The version of WhatsApp where this feature will be rolled is not out in the news yet. Stay tuned to get that information.
WABetaInfo also shared some more information about the customized format in which the videos can be sent. They are described below-
Auto (recommended): WhatsApp will detect what is the best compression algorithm for specific videos.Best quality: WhatsApp will always send the video using the best quality available!Data saver: When Data saver is enabled in your Android settings, WhatsApp will compress videos before sending them.
