Taking pictures with WhatsApp
WhatsApp’s built-in camera for Android doesn’t take the best photos because it appeals to the camera in its own way. You take the best photos by letting your phone speak to the camera rather than WhatsApp. This also applies to the Android apps of Snapchat and Instagram, for example. Developers don’t have this option on an iPhone.
There are some useful photo and video tips for WhatsApp to share more beautiful photos. Handy of course if you want to make a bigger impression, but also if you share a photo that you might want to print. You can choose to just open the camera app and take a photo and then share it to WhatsApp. A handy trick is to press the paper clip in the conversation window and hold the camera button for two seconds. When you choose Take Photo or Take Video, you now do this with the camera app.
Also don’t forget in the settings of WhatsApp Storage and data whether you’re using an iPhone or an Android. Bee Photo upload quality you can indicate to what extent WhatsApp can compress the photos you send. Lower quality means less data consumption, the best photo quality, of course, more. But even at the best quality, WhatsApp will compress your photo.
If you want to share an uncompressed photo or video on WhatsApp, tap the paperclip in a conversation and then hold the button Gallery pressed for a few seconds. Then the standard photo gallery of your smartphone opens from which you can choose a photo to share without loss of quality.
