WhatsApp: Send photos uncompressed - how it works

Everyone should know how to send photos uncompressed on Whatsapp. Because when photos are sent normally, they are compressed to save data volume. This is stupid if you want to print out the photos. Here is the solution ...

WhatsApp: Send photos uncompressed as a document

For some time now, you have been able to send other file forms via Whatsapp. You can use this function when sending photos. The following instructions work on both iOS and Android.

• Open the chat history you want and tap the paper clip at the bottom right of the screen.
• Instead of the "Gallery" button, select "Documents".
• Now a list view appears, select the desired picture from the list displayed. You can recognize this by the respective ending (most common: .webp; .webp or .JPNG).
• If you cannot find your photo, select the button "Search other documents ..." (see picture). Now you get a better view and you will see more files.

WhatsApp: So you can also send photos without compression

To send photos uncompressed, you don't necessarily have to use WhatsApp. These alternatives also work without problems and do not require a workaround.

• The easiest way is to send your photos by email. It's still the easiest way to share your pretty snapshots.
• Alternatively, you can upload your photos to Google Drive and then share them via link.
• Another option is to download the Dropbox app and upload your picture there. Then you can share the file (or an entire folder) with friends or relatives.
