Users can now choose photos and videos from their gallery and send them as documents, bypassing the typical compression that often leads to a loss in quality.

The option to send photos and videos as documents is a welcome development for photographers, videographers, and anyone keen on preserving the original quality of their media.
Although the feature is currently accessible to a limited number of users who have installed the latest WhatsApp updates for iOS, it is expected to roll out to more users gradually over the upcoming weeks.

In addition to this exciting update, WhatsApp is introducing another feature that allows users to archive community group chats. This new feature adds an “archive chat” action within the community group chat menu, providing users with greater control over managing their community group chats by allowing them to archive these conversations.
