WhatsApp, owned by Meta, is rolling out a new feature for Android beta that allows users to send high-quality videos.

According to IANS, beta users will notice a new button within the graphics editor that will allow them to send high-quality films.

While this feature preserves video dimensions, minimal compression is still applied to the video, making it impossible to send videos at their original quality. Because the default choice for all videos is ‘Standard quality,’ users must select the high-quality option every time they want to share a video with higher quality.

The new option only appears when the users select a large-size video. A tag will be added to the message bubble when sending a video with the high-quality option to inform the recipient that the video is sent using this feature.

This feature is not available when sharing videos through status updates. The ability to send videos in high-quality is currently rolling out to some beta testers that install the latest update of WhatsApp beta for Android, and is expected to roll out to more users over the coming weeks, the report said.
