Messaging apps are as important as ever. Being able to quickly and reliably contact anyone in your life is essential — it’s why Google continues to boost its RCS capabilities. WhatsApp is one of the most popular messaging clients worldwide, but it has its fair share of limitations. Video files have always been compressed unless sent as a document, but a future update to the app might finally add quality options.

As spotted by WABetaInfo, WhatsApp beta 2.21.14.6 on Android hints at the ability to swap your default quality when sending videos. Currently, the “Storage and data” menu in WhatsApp doesn’t allow you to customize video preferences, but that could change soon. In this latest beta, you have three options to switch between for your upload compression: “Auto,” “Best quality,” and “Data saver.”
