By default, whenever you upload a photo to WhatsApp that photo gets compressed. As a result, the version of that photo people see on WhatsApp can look a little grainy. Thankfully, WhatsApp makes it easy to change the default quality of photos you upload so that you can either prioritize quality to guarantee that people see the best version of that photo possible, or you can prioritize reducing data usage and upload a heavily-compressed, lower-quality version of that photo.
Now let's walk through the steps to change the default photo upload quality on WhatsApp.
Step 1. Launch WhatsApp on your iPhone, ipad or Android device.
Step 2. Tap "Settings" in the menu along the bottom of the screen. You'll land on the Settings screen.
Step 3. Tap "Storage and Data" in the list of options. The Storage and Data menu screen is shown.
Step 4. Tap "Media Upload Quality." The next screen shows you options for the final quality of media that you upload to WhatsApp. By default, this setting will be set to Auto, which compresses your uploaded photos to reduce the data that gets used. Choosing Best Quality will upload the highest quality image possible, but that will result in a larger file that may be difficult for some WhatsApp users to download. Alternatively, choosing Data Saver will result in a smaller file being uploaded. While this file will be easier for other users to download and access, it will be heavily compressed and may look grainy.
Step 5. Tap to place a check mark next to the option you want to apply to photos you upload to WhatsApp going forward. In this example I'll choose "Best Quality." Your settings will be changed going forward.
