Why WhatsApp Compresses Photos and videos?


Over the years WhatsApp became one of the most popular messaging apps which does a lot more than just messaging. Although messaging still remains the core function of WhatsApp, the app itself has become a multi-purpose tool that allows users to make video and audio calls, share media files, and even handle customer relation communications among other things. In this article, we are going to discuss why WhatsApp downgrades media files while sharing. Usually, if a user creates any of its projects either a video file or a normal image, will occupy a massive storage space but while a creator shares his or her project through WhatsApp the entire projects seem to lack some of its sizes in terms of storage. So does WhatsApp actually degrades or compress projects like videos and photos? let's talk about the actual thing which happens in a short!

Usually when a creator prepares his project directly from WhatsApp as WhatsApp video or captures photos. WhatsApp has a bitrate, video quality aspect ratio usually is very much different from one's default camera settings. So WhatsApp basically being a messenger application isn't made or capable to share high definition HD photos or videos as comparative to use all photos which generally takes up to 2mb-14mb or even more than if it's being sent through different applications. So if one is sharing such high definition picture or video to another user via WhatsApp then WhatsApp by default compresses its size varying upon different media files as WhatsApp is a fast messenger application thus to ensure faster communication it compresses the media file so that the person could get it immediately after the sender sends the file. So if one wishes to send the original hf picture or video file via WhatsApp only then the user must prefer to share the file as a document to prevent it from being compressed.
