this is a duplicate of The ability to remove media compression - #22 by DELTA_MAFIA
So, when i want to share an uncompressed photo in original quality, i now have to upload them elsewhere and create external sharing links and send those instead, very cumbersome…
this is no longer needed. since the last release, there is an option to send images uncompressed, use “Attach / File” to preserve quality and metadata:
android/desktop have a similar option.
this is a bit hidden, and is known only by ppl searching for it or read the help. however, in general, we are sceptical to offer an “always high quality” option, as this would affect the overall traffic and ecosystem, is not a sender-only choice - and tradeoffs are not always seen.
and we’re talking about about up to 10 times or even 100 times larger traffic here, for one recipient.
the quality as such, we can talk about it. last time we checked, it was equal to what telegram is using, which is not that bad for most images.
