It's the go-to messaging platform for millions of people around the world.
But WhatsApp users will know the frustration of sending photos to their friends on the platform, only to discover that they're grainy.
Thankfully, the days of having to meet up to AirDrop the photos are finally a thing of the past, thanks to a huge WhatsApp update.
Mark Zuckerberg, CEO of WhatsApp's parent company, Meta, has announced that you can now send photos on WhatsApp in HD quality.
Here's everything you need to know about the update, including how to send high definition photos to your friends.
Zuckerberg shared the news on his Facebook page, posting a video showing how the feature works, alongside the caption: 'Sharing photos on WhatsApp just got an upgrade -- now you can send in HD.'
WhatsApp says the new feature is suited 'for special moments that you want friends and family to enjoy in every little detail'.
To try it yourself, simply open the WhatsApp app and tap on the conversation you'd like to send an HD photo in.
Tap the '+' symbol at the bottom left of the screen, then Photo & Video Library.
Select which photo you'd like to share, and you should now see a new HD option at the top of the screen.
Tap on this, then tap the blue arrow icon at the bottom right of your screen and the photo will send in HD.
'To ensure sharing photos over WhatsApp remains fast and reliable, Standard Quality will continue to be the default option photos are sent in,' WhatsApp explained.
