WhatsApp is working on a new feature that would
allow users to send images without compressing them excessively. The new
feature is still in development and has not yet been made available to beta
testers. In addition to video quality settings, users will be able to send
videos on WhatsApp with minimal possible compression. Currently, WhatsApp does
not allow this, and photos and videos are automatically compressed to fit
within its restricted limit. This comes as WhatsApp is said to be getting ready
to start public testing for one of its most anticipated features: multi-device
support.
The two features are currently in development for the Android app, according to WABetaInfo, one is multi-device support and the other will allow users to control the compression limit over images and videos. This new feature will eventually give three quality options when sending images and video: “Auto,” “Best quality” or “ Data saver”

This limit forces automatic compression of media
when it is sent via WhatsApp. According to the current beta, WhatsApp is
working on a solution to this problem. It plans to include a setting in
WhatsApp that allows users to enable higher photo quality when sending images.
WhatsApp can detect the best compression method for
certain images using the Auto option. The image will be sent in the highest
quality possible if you choose the best quality option. A data saver option is
also available, which compresses the image to a significant degree in order to
save the data.
Because this feature is currently in development,
there is no word on when it will be available to beta testers. Even if they are
using WhatsApp for Android beta v2.21.14.16, users will not be able to see it.
WhatsApp is also working on a similar setting option for sending videos, as
previously mentioned.
Apart from that, WhatsApp is working on multi-device
compatibility, by which users will be able to log in with the same account on
up to four devices at the same time. According to reports, this new feature
will be available for public beta testing soon.
