WhatsApp Boosts Photo and Video Quality with New Updates

WhatsApp is revolutionizing the way users share media within the app, with a slew of updates aimed at improving the quality and functionality of photo and video sharing. The messaging platform, owned by Meta, is rolling out these enhancements gradually, promising a richer experience for its vast user base.

One of the primary concerns addressed in this update is the deterioration in image quality when shared between users. However, with the latest version (2.24.7.17) being tested through the Google Play Beta Program, users can soon opt for higher-quality image uploads. This improvement, spotted by WhatsApp news site WABetaInfo, ensures that shared photos maintain their integrity and clarity.

But WhatsApp isn’t stopping there; it’s also amplifying its video-sharing capabilities. In the iOS version available for download on the App Store, users can now enjoy a feature reminiscent of popular video streaming platforms like Netflix and YouTube. By simply double-tapping the right or left side of the screen, users can fast forward or rewind videos by 10 seconds, adding more control and convenience to the viewing experience.

Furthermore, the company is reportedly working on additional features such as filtering group chats and sharing status updates and favorites, indicating a broader effort to enhance overall user engagement and satisfaction.

In a move towards leveraging artificial intelligence (AI), WhatsApp is also developing a feature called Ask Meta AI, expected to be part of version 2.24.7.14. This innovative addition will enable users to enter queries directly into the search bar, with WhatsApp suggesting prompts to streamline the process. Once submitted, Meta AI will provide answers and even initiate conversations, simplifying information retrieval and eliminating the need to navigate outside the app.

While the AI feature is still in development and yet to undergo beta testing, its potential to expedite common searches and enhance user experience is promising. However, an official announcement or launch date for this feature is yet to be confirmed.

WhatsApp’s commitment to improving its media-sharing capabilities and integrating AI features underscores its dedication to providing users with a seamless and enriching messaging experience. As these updates continue to roll out, users can look forward to a more dynamic and user-friendly platform for staying connected with friends and family.
