To upload original quality media on WhatsApp, you need to slightly alter your approach since WhatsApp compresses photos and videos by default. Send your media as a document. Here's how: 1. Open a chat, tap the attachment icon (paperclip), then select 'Document'. 2. Choose 'Browse other docs...'. 3. Navigate to the desired photo or video (you might need to browse your device’s file storage). Select the file and send it. This method bypasses compression, allowing you to share media in its original quality.
