Videos looking blurry in photo app Hi, When playing some videos taken with my phone in the photo app they look blurry and low resolution but when editing them (still in the photo app) they look clear. Same when sending them via iMessage, they look great and clear. But watching them in the app itself looks bad. Why is that ? And it’s not for every videos tho.

WhatsApp is owned by Meta and their apps usually downscale photos and videos. Apple doesn't own WhatsApp, nor have any control over their app in any way. Contact them if you're not happy with what happens with your photos and videos once loaded on their platform.
