Twitter has finally updated its image system and now allows Android and iOS users to post images in 4K resolution on the social network. The new feature is already being released globally and only needs a configuration in the app to start working.
The user can enable the upload and viewing of images in resolutions up to 4K by going to Twitter settings and going to the “Data Usage” tab. Then just turn on “High quality image loading” and “High quality images.”
Twitter allows the user to activate the viewing and sending of 4K images only on Wi-Fi or also on mobile networks. However, it is worth highlighting that using the function over a cellular connection increases data consumption.
With the update, the Twitter application is finally able to keep up with the web version of the social network, which already has support for images up to 4,096 x 4,096 pixels. Previously, users of the mobile version of the microblog could use photos with up to 2,048 x 2,048 pixels in their publications.
