Forget WeTransfer, Google Drive, this dismaying WhatsApp problem set to end soon

Do you share photos regularly on WhatsApp? If yes, you must have noticed how bad the image quality is. Well, this is a long-standing problem that has plagued this popular app's users.

WhatsApp has been downgrading photos and other media to keep its services running smoothly. Considering that it is used by billions of people, the load on WhatsApp was heavy and this was its way of dealing with the problem.

WhatsApp could soon add a new feature that will solve all image quality issues and the change should be visible on your smartphone soon.
