To access the new functionality, users need to update their WhatsApp application to the most recent version. After updating, an "HD" button will appear at the top of the photo-sharing interface, next to other editing tools. Upon tapping this button, a pop-up will prompt users to select the photo quality. The default setting is Standard Quality, which maintains fast sharing, but users can choose HD quality to send higher-resolution images. Recipients will see an "HD" label on the photo, indicating it's a high-definition image.
