WhatsApp is rolling out a new feature on iOS beta, which allows users to send high-quality videos
While this feature preserves video dimensions, minor compression will still be applied to the video, thus sending videos in their original quality is not possible
The default option will always be ‘Standard quality’ for all videos, therefore, users have to select the high-quality option every time they want to send a video with better quality
This feature is not available when sharing videos through status updates
The platform is also rolling out additional enhancements regarding profile icons within group chats
Particularly, the profile pictures of contacts whose thumbnails are missing or hidden have been updated
The initials of each group member’s name appear on these thumbnails now
This enhancement is expected to make it easier for other participants in the conversation to instantly recognise the individual represented by the thumbnail
