WhatsApp: That's why you should never take pictures with the camera

The short message service provider WhatsApp has its own camera function - which, however, is very weak. You can find out why you should never take pictures via WhatsApp in the following practical tip.

The picture quality is much worse

• You have probably already noticed differences in the photo quality between the camera function of WhatsApp and the camera app of the manufacturer.
• Especially for smartphones with an Android operating system, the WhatsApp images often appear much darker and less clear.
• The more powerful the built-in camera is, the more the differences are important.
• This phenomenon can also be criticized for iOS, even if the quality differences are significantly smaller.

WhatsApp: The problem with the camera

This is not because the pictures received by the person opposite are worse because they are calculated down for shipping. It's just about the way of recording.

• WhatsApp cannot access all functions available to the manufacturer camera.
• Google is to blame: The Android operating system does not allow "third-party" apps to make full use of the powerful camera on a smartphone.
• For example, it is not possible to adjust the brightness as soon as the focus is placed on a dark object.
• The best way to work around this problem is to send a photo from the gallery that was previously taken with the manufacturer's camera.
