If, after reading the headline, your first question has been: are the photos sent by WhatsApp not in original size and quality ?, continue reading.

In the opposite case, you can skip the following paragraphs and look for the information depending on the operating system of your mobile, be it an Android or an iPhone.

We are not going to reveal the best kept secret of WhatsApp or the location of the Holy Grail, it is clear, but indeed, the quality of all the images and videos that you share directly on WhatsApp is reduced.

Now, despite having lost Indiana Jones as a reader, let's continue, there is a way to avoid this drastic cut that the application imposes, in order to save space, and transfer the files with their original size.

The solution is as easy as sending the photo or video as a document, now we explain how.

Send photos by WhatsApp without losing quality on Android

First of all, you have to open the chat of the person with whom you want to share the photos.

Then, click on the icon in the form of a clip that is located in the lower right part, just in the bar where the messages are written.

Then a menu with several options will open, press where it says Document with an icon that looks like a folder.

Remember not to press Gallery, since from that option everything shared will be reduced.

After pressing Document, a list will appear with the files you have on your mobile phone.

To search by name or by type (images, audio, video) select Find other documents, the option that appears at the top, at the beginning of the list.

The files on your phone will then appear with thumbnails, making it easier for you to find the photos or video you want to share.

To avoid sending a file by accidentally clicking it, WhatsApp will ask you if you want to send the file, to finish the action you will have to confirm or cancel.

Send photos by WhatsApp without losing quality on iOS

In the case of having an iPhone, the process is somewhat more complicated.

First, open the Photos folder and find the image or video that you want to share without losing quality.

Then press and hold the photo to display a menu in which you have to select Share and save the image in the Files folder, within the list that will appear select a folder.

Now, enter WhatsApp and open the chat of the person with whom you want to share the images, press the plus icon '+' located in the lower left corner and select Document.

As in the case of Android, a list will appear with your recent files and placed in folders, look for the folder in which you saved the file at the beginning and hit send.

Now you can share the photos of the holidays or the new member of the family (have two or four legs) without losing a bit of quality.

And for photos of jokes or memes, since resolution is not important, sharing from Gallery is the fastest.
