    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).

    The FTC could file its antitrust lawsuit against Amazon this month.

    Amazon didn’t offer up any concessions during its “last rites” meeting with the FTC in August, the WSJ reports — its final chance to appease regulators ahead of the incoming lawsuit.

    That means the FTC could file its massive lawsuit against Amazon in the coming weeks. The agency’s suit will reportedly touch upon various aspects of Amazon’s business, while also suggesting “structural remedies” that could potentially break up the tech giant.
