After the photos, these are the videos that you can send in high definition on WhatsApp. However, with a small limitation.

Meta announced it last week: WhatsApp will allow you to share high definition videos on its service. After having started the deployment of a so-called “lossless” option for sending photos, the option is now available for videos.
Sending HD video finally possible on WhatsApp
This was one of the major limitations of the service: video sharing was until now limited to a maximum definition of 480p. Since our smartphones can film at much higher quality these days, Meta needed to update WhatsApp to move into the HD era.
As for sharing photos, you will be able to press the small “HD” icon at the top of the window for sending your video to select the quality of the content. You will thus have the choice between “Standard Quality” and “HD Quality”, the application will then indicate the definition and the size of the file for each of the options. The recipient will always have the choice between receiving the standard version or the high definition file.

Note that this new feature will allow you to send videos in 720p maximum, i.e. a definition of 1280 x 720 pixels. It’s already better, but a bit below the 1080p standard and far from the future of 4k. But to watch WhatsApp videos on your smartphone, we imagine that this will be enough.
Sending HD videos on WhatsApp should be available for all iOS and Android devices now following the latest app update.
