WhatsApp has started letting some beta testers send original quality media.

Some testers are getting the ability to share photos and videos in full resolution in beta version 2.23.19.3 of WhatsApp on Android, WABetaInfo reports.

WhatsApp was spotted working on the feature last month, which lets you select and send original quality media from the app’s document picker. The messenger also widely rolled out the ability to send HD photos and videos this week (but it still compresses them).
