Facebook Messenger Rolls Out HD Photos, Shared Albums and Large File Sharing

Meta has just announced a suite of new features that are set to enhance your chatting experience. Starting today, you can share your memories in stunning high definition and send large files up to 100MB directly through Messenger.

Gone are the days of grainy images and lost details. With the new HD photo feature, your pictures will be as clear and crisp as your memories. To send an HD photo, simply select an image from your chat composer, toggle on the HD option, and hit send. You can even send multiple photos in HD at once!

Whether it's a family gathering or a weekend getaway with friends, shared albums make it easy to collect all your moments in one place. Creating a new album is a breeze: select multiple photos, tap 'Create album', and you're done. Everyone in the chat can contribute, view, and download the photos anytime.

The hassle of switching to email to send large files is a thing of the past. Messenger now supports sending files up to 100MB. Whether it's a Word document, a PDF, an Excel file, or even a zip file, you can send it all without leaving your chat.

Adding new friends on Messenger is now as simple as scanning a QR code. No more typing out names or numbers—just scan and start chatting.

These updates are rolling out globally, so get ready to share and connect in more ways than ever before. Keep an eye on your Messenger app for these exciting new features! Some users have commented that there is no change in quality despite sending via HD.

Other users took a dig at Meta for being biased towards Android users, as iPhone usually sends HD pictures at default without further compressing the quality. And the aim of the update is to increase the quality of photos shared among android users.
