In today's time, everyone has WhatsApp on their phone. Every day, millions of people use WhatsApp. People change their profile photo. They put DP, remove it, update it... But today we are going to tell you about a feature that is visible to everyone, but very few people use it. We are talking about putting DP, i.e., display photo, on WhatsApp.
Whenever we change our DP, a direct question comes up. Take a photo from the camera or put it from the gallery. When the app asks you whether to take a photo from the camera or choose from the gallery, almost everyone chooses the same option, the gallery... Often, people avoid taking a photo with the camera and directly choose a ready photo from the gallery. This is where the real story begins...
Why do people avoid changing DP by clicking a photo from the camera?
When there is an option to change DP by clicking a photo from the camera, then why do people avoid it? The reason is clear because not everyone likes a photo taken without thinking. Is it just this or something else? Let's find out...
Most people think that WhatsApp's camera is very basic. It neither has the right balance of light, nor does anyone like a straight photo taken from the front camera without a filter. In such a situation, when it comes to setting DP, who will take the risk that everyone will see their photo taken in poor quality?
Now, the truth is that more than 90% of people put photos directly from the gallery. Very few people do this, that is, open the camera from there, click a photo, and set it as DP. Because the photo taken from the camera often does not look that good.
Everyone prefers the photo from the gallery.
People choose only those photos from the gallery of their phones which have been taken thoughtfully beforehand, with good light, good pose, a smile on the face, and little editing. Whether that photo is 2 months old or a good selfie taken after a lot of hard work, we find that to be the safe option for DP.
The camera option is used the least.
Whenever you go to change your DP on WhatsApp, the camera option is at the top. It seems as if the app itself wants you to click the photo from here. But people know that the photo here does not look good, and there is no option for editing, so they directly scroll down and choose the gallery option to change their DP.
Do you also avoid clicking photos from the camera while changing the DP?
If yes, then you are not alone. WhatsApp's built-in camera is not that good. Most people do not like photos taken directly from the front camera. Often, the camera angle or lighting is not right. Perhaps this is the least used feature of WhatsApp, which is in front of everyone, yet is not used. Now if you ever change your DP, you will notice that the difference between a photo taken from the camera and a photo selected from the gallery is not just of pixels, but there is a huge difference.
