When you send photos or videos to someone on WhatsApp, their quality often becomes degraded (compressed). Although WhatsApp offers the option to send media in HD, selecting HD separately each time can be quite a hassle. The good news is that you can now send all your photos and videos in original/HD quality by default with a simple setting.
