Whatsapp is used by millions of users worldwide. It has many attractive features for sharing a message with your contacts.
You can use Emojis, Gifs, stickers to make the chat interesting. Video calls and group messages are some other useful features.
Similar to Facebook on Whatsapp, you can add profile pictures and statuses. Status is all good, but WhatsApp profile picture dimensions may disappoint you.
Whatsapp images with ratio 1:1 can only be used as a profile picture, unlike Facebook.
This is why you have to crop your portrait or rectangular photo to fit in the specified space in most cases.
The cropping feature available on Whatsapp may crop the focus point of the image or reduce the effectiveness. To get rid of that issue here, we have a few apps that will help you upload a full-size profile picture on WhatsApp.
