WhatsApp is rolling out the ability to share videos in HD. A week ago, the instant messaging platform introduced a new feature that lets users send images to others in high resolution and that it would expand the feature to videos as well.

The Meta-owned platform recently confirmed to TechCrunch that the ability to send and receive videos in HD is currently rolling out to users on both Android and iOS.

Similar to how you send images in high-definition, the HD video feature can be toggled on when you are about to share the video with others. Until now, videos on the platform were limited to 480p, but now users can enable the 720p option.

Similar to text messages, calls and images, videos are protected by WhatsApp’s end-to-end encryption. If someone sends a video in HD, you can see it by looking at the small ‘HD’ badge on the bottom left of the message thumbnail.

WhatsApp says the ability to share videos in HD is rolling out to all users and in case it is not available on your device, it should be in the next few days.

This month, the company unveiled a bunch of new features for the instant messaging apps, some of which include the ability to share screen on video calls, voice chats in groups, edit sent media captions, and create groups without names to name a few.
