To make uploading photos and videos a breeze, Facebook automatically defaults to standard quality. Faster uploading aside, it also saves your precious data – ensuring your limited bandwidth doesn’t run out of gas abruptly. For most people, this default behavior is the need of the hour. But what if you are a digital creator or someone who prefers nothing less than stunning images?
No worries! The Meta-owned social networking platform offers a hidden way to upload HD videos/photos on Facebook on iPhone and Android. When activated, it smartly adjusts the resolution according to the network conditions. Let me show you how to bring it into action!
Upload HD Videos/Photos on Facebook on iPhone and Android
As a digital creator, I make sure my videos look impressive on Facebook. So, it’s good to have the option to upload them in the highest possible quality. If you are also like me, chances are decent that you may find it helpful as well.
- To get started, open the Facebook app on your iPhone or Android device.
- Now, tap the menu icon with three horizontal lines located in the bottom right corner of the screen. Note that if you are using an Android device, you will find the menu icon at the upper right corner of the user interface.
- Scroll down to the bottom of the screen and choose “Settings & Privacy“.
- After that, choose “Settings”.
- Next up, head over to the Preferences section and select Media to access the Videos and Photos settings page.
- Under the Video Quality section, ensure that the Optimized option is selected.
That’s pretty much it! From now on, Facebook will upload videos in the best possible quality. Bear in mind that the uploading process will take a bit longer. Increased uploading time aside, it will also gobble up more data. If you are ready to bear with these downsides, this feature is for you.
Despite cut-throat competition, Facebook remains by far the most loved social networking platform, with roughly three billion monthly active users. What with a wide range of notable features and what with deep integration with Instagram, WhatsApp, and Threads make this Meta-owned platform such a popular destination for creators and users alike.
