Why Does WhatsApp Reduce the Quality of Your Status?
Before we learn
how to upload status in HD
, it is important to understand why WhatsApp does it.
There are two main reasons for this:
- Data Saving: HD videos and photos have huge size. WhatsApp compresses the quality to save internet data for you and the viewers.
- Fast uploading: Small files are uploaded to the server quickly, making your status available instantly, even if you have a slow Internet connection.
But now we have a solution!
Method 1: Use WhatsApp's new HD upload feature (Easiest way)
This is the official and best method provided by
WhatsApp. If you have updated your WhatsApp, then you
will definitely get this option.
We also have a video available on how to put status in
this way, so we will add that video to this post later.
If you want, you can also learn by watching that
video.
Step-by-Step Guide:
1. Update WhatsApp
: First of all go to Google Play Store or Apple App Store
and update your WhatsApp to the latest version. This is the
most important step.
2. Go to Chats tab
: Open your WhatsApp and go to Chats section at the
bottom
3. Go to Camera icon:
Now you will see the camera 📷 icon in the top right corner,
click on it. 👇
4. Select photo or video:
Now, from the camera icon select the photo or video that you
want to put on status.
5. Tap the HD button:
Once you've selected a photo or video, you'll see a new "HD"
button at the top of the screen, next to the crop
tool.
6. Choose the quality:
Tap the "HD" button. You will see two options:
- Standard Quality: This is selected by default and compresses the file.
- HD Quality: Select this. WhatsApp will tell you that the photo or video will look clearer in HD quality but will be larger in size.
7. Add Status:
After selecting "HD Quality", tap 'Done' and post your status as
usual.
That's it! Now your status will be displayed in crystal
clear HD quality.
You can also learn by watching the video given below because we learn faster by seeing anything practically rather than learning it by reading it, so definitely watch the video given below once. {alertSuccess}
Method 2: Send video to yourself and put status in HD (old trick)
If for some reason you are not able to see the 'HD' button
mentioned above in the status tab, then you can use this old
but very effective trick. This trick also uses WhatsApp's HD
sharing feature.
Step-by-Step Guide:
- Send a message to yourself: Open a chat in WhatsApp with your own number (you) or that of a trusted friend.
- Send media in HD: Click on the attachment (📎) icon and select the photo or video from the gallery you want to put on your status.
- Choose HD option: Before sending you will see the "HD" option at the top of the screen. Tap on it and select "HD Quality" and send the video or photo.
- Now forward to status: Once the photo/video is sent in HD quality in the chat, tap on it to open it. Now click on the three dots (⋮) in the top right corner and select "Forward".
- Select “My Status”: On the forward screen, select the “My Status” option at the top and share it to your status.
When you forward media this way, WhatsApp saves the media
in HD quality, and your status is also uploaded in HD.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
