When you try to send a large-quality file through WhatsApp, the HD quality option appears. As of now, we don't know what picture size WhatsApp deems a huge file, but we do know that if the file size is too little, the HD photo choice will be unavailable. WhatsApp will apply a new tag on high-quality photographs after you share them, you will be able to tell if the shared photo is of HD resolution or not.

Keep in mind that the functionality is now only available in beta versions of Android and iOS. It has yet to be added to the stable version. Those who are now utilising the beta version of WhatsApp will be allowed to utilise it.
