WhatsApp users warned upgrade could eat up your data – and cost you more

WHATSAPP is planning a big change to the popular platform that’s sure to please anyone who loves to share photos.

But it also risks eating through a lot more of your data.

It could therefore cost you more if you’re not careful too.

At the moment, WhatsApp scales the photo quality down so the file size is a lot less bulky.

This makes them quicker to send and uses less data.

But some of us want the full HD quality they were taken in.

And it seems WhatsApp has listened.

Leaked screenshots from WABetaInfo show a brand new button that allows users to select HD.

A HD stamp also appears in the chat alongside the image.

The feature has only just arrived for beta testers, so you won’t see it on your own WhatsApp yet.

But it may well arrive in a future release.

How to get WhatsApp beta

To download WhatsApp beta for your smartphone you need to go to Google Play on your Android and search for WhatsApp.

Scroll down the page until you see “Become a Beta Tester”.

Tap the “I’m In” button and then click “Join” to confirm.

Now all you have to do is wait for the update to the beta version of the app.

Joining the WhatsApp beta on iOS for iPhone is more difficult, and has limited capacity.
