Don’t Send Images As Documents On WhatsApp!

WhatsApp is a very important and useful application with great features and now it’s a part of our daily life to use WhatsApp for sharing information and data with our contacts.

If you’re an iPhone user then your friends or relatives always say you to send their images from your device as a document file because it maintains the original quality of images if we send it as a document file instead of direct uploading.
