For Android users: How to adjust video quality on WhatsApp
What's the story
WhatsApp is a widely-used messaging app that allows users to share various media, including videos. However, sharing high-quality videos can be tricky due to file size constraints.
This guide will walk you through adjusting video quality on WhatsApp for Android devices, so you can ensure your videos are shared at the quality you want.

Adjusting video quality made easy
To change video quality settings on WhatsApp for Android, make sure you're using the latest version of the app.
Open the app and tap the three dots in the top right corner to open settings.
Select "Settings," then "Storage and data."
Now, choose "Media upload quality" to adjust video settings.
Quality selection
Select your preferred quality
Under "Media upload quality," you'll see options such as "Auto," "Best quality," and "Data saver."
If you want to ensure the videos you send are of high clarity and fidelity, select "Best quality." Although this option may increase file sizes, it guarantees your videos retain better visual quality.
Once you've chosen your desired quality, remember to tap "OK" to apply the changes.
Alternative method
Sending videos in original quality
To send videos in original quality on WhatsApp, first save the video to your downloads folder using your phone's file manager.
Then, on WhatsApp, select the chat where you want to send the video. Tap the clip icon, choose "Document," and locate your video in the downloads folder.
This way, you bypass compression and the video retains its original quality.
