The options are \u201cAuto,\u201d \u201cBest quality,\u201d or \u201cData saver.\u201d<\/p>\n<p id=\"cgxW79\">If it releases in this form, it could let you force media to be more compressed if you\u2019re worried about internet speeds or data caps, or lower the amount of compression to ensure images or video are sent in their highest possible quality. Currently, avoiding WhatsApp\u2019s compression involves changing a file\u2019s extension to send it as a document rather than an image or video (<em>The Next Web <\/em>has a guide on how to do so here).<\/p>\n<p id=\"F6EJBH\">There\u2019s currently no word on when the feature may see an official release, and <em>WABetaInfo\u2019s<\/em> report relates specifically to the Android beta app and not iOS. But given the feature parity between WhatsApp\u2019s apps, development on iOS is unlikely to be too far behind. <\/p>\n<p id=\"3FLrjx\">Image and video quality settings join a growing list of unreleased WhatsApp features unearthed by <em>WABetaInfo<\/em>. The most anticipated of these is multi-device support, which will allow the service to be usable across multiple devices. The app researcher reported the feature was in development last year, and more recently Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg confirmed the feature will launch soon.<\/p>\n<p id=\"JThiCh\">\n<p id=\"QS3Lqq\">\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A future version of WhatsApp will give more control over the amount of compression&hellip;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":1555,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":[],"categories":[3],"tags":[38,64,62,66,63,65,69,67,71,68,70],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/itparadise.net\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1554"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/itparadise.net\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/itparadise.net\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/itparadise.net\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/itparadise.net\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=1554"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/itparadise.net\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1554\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":2061,"href":"https:\/\/itparadise.net\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1554\/revisions\/2061"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/itparadise.net\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/1555"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/itparadise.net\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=1554"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/itparadise.net\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=1554"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/itparadise.net\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=1554"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
