WhatsApp leaves media download quality selection to users

WhatsApp has begun to test a remarkable innovation for Beta users on Android platform. The application of the application for a long time on the agenda can now be used by a limited number of users. With this feature, users can determine the resolution of photos and videos downloaded to their devices. Balance between data savings and users who want to save high quality are being tried.

The new feature is included in WhatsApp’s beta version 2.25.18.11 for Android. Currently, only some beta users can access this option, seems to reach more users in the coming weeks. This function, which can be accessed through the Settings menu, is available for alleged to provide more control over data usage. The update, which aims to simplify the user experience, targets users with a limited internet package.

WhatsApp users can determine the quality of media files to be downloaded automatically

Automatic download quality setting is located on WhatsApp’s “Storage and Data” tab. In this section, the “Media Installation Quality” option is offered to the user as a new setting just below the option. This setting, which is offered under the title of “Automatic Download Quality, includes two different download options. Users can choose between “standard quality” or “HD quality ..

When the standard quality preference is made, the application downloads the compressed version of the media files to the devices. This method reduces data consumption and requires a lower resolution. The HD quality option reduces high -resolution media content directly to the devices at the expense of data usage. However, a more satisfactory solution is offered for users who prefer HD in terms of visual integrity.

Even if the user selects the standard quality for automatic downloads, HD versions of the content still remain accessible. When you click on the media preview in the chat window, the HD version can be switched on. This offers an alternative structure for users who want flexibility in media quality. The whole system coincides with the goal of providing more control over WhatsApp’s media sharing.

According to the details shared by Wabetaınfo, WhatsApp has offered a different loading method together. When the user sends a high -quality media, the application starts to install by producing both standard and HD versions of this content. This double loading process becomes compulsory due to end -to -end encryption. Because WhatsApp cannot process the media files on its servers and has to solve this business on the sender side.

In this system of the application, users download only the selected quality version to their devices according to their settings. For example, if the standard quality automatic download on the receiver side, only this version of the sent media content can be downloaded and opened. Since both versions are installed by the sender, there is no quality loss or transaction delay on the receiving side. This structure has positive results in terms of speed and efficiency in media shipping.

WhatsApp’s new system is a positive development for users who want more inspection in the management of visual content. Especially high quality photos and videos are shared in a more easily and controlled manner. However, the low quality option is still valid for users with limited data quota. Thus, a flexible structure is created according to the user profiles.

While the beta test process of this feature continues, the first user reviews are usually positive. Most of the users are pleased to have the right to select more in the process of sending and receiving media. In addition, the system is shown as an advantage that the system can work smoothly and transition between different quality preferences. It is foreseen that the effect of this setting will be felt more clearly in chat groups where media sharing is intense.
