WhatsApp has started issuing a new function for iOS beta testers that will give users more control over automatic media downloads. According to WABETAINFO (WBI), the update is available in 25.29.10.71 beta.
This new function allows users to choose the desired quality of automatic downloaded photos and videos. This option is designed to maintain the use of data and storage use and the desired level of image details.
As in the latest Android update, users will be able to choose one of the two options: "Standard quality" (compressed files) and "HD quality" (maintaining maximum details).
Settings are in the "Storage and Data" section. It is important to note that if the sender is downloaded by HD quality, WhatsApp maintains both standard and HD versions on the server. According to the default, the user will receive the option that corresponds to its automatic download settings. When selecting standard quality, the user can always view the file with HD quality by clicking the appropriate icon to download the clearer version.
