Therefore, if users wish, Send images at 4032 x 3024 resolution. But be careful, these photos will inevitably take longer to send and take up much more storage space. The next step for WhatsApp will of course be to send videos in HD.

Finally, there’s no need to review the usefulness of bulleted lists. especially for listing arguments or creating shopping lists (or others). For now, we don’t yet know when Meta plans to launch these new features on the Android and iOS versions of WhatsApp.
