How Best to Share a Photo to Multiple Multimedia Accounts?

It seems that sending a photo from the gallery to 10 Whatsapp accounts uploads the photo simultaneously to the 10 accounts from the phone.

Phone gallery -> account 1
-> account 2

-> account 10

But, sending the photo to one account and then forward it to the other 9 accounts seems to happen only on the server, i.e. no further uploads required.

Phone gallery -> account 1 —-forward—> account 2,3,4,…10

Does anyone know if this assumption is correct? How does everyone do it?

  • Whatsapp will also degrade the quality of the photo to accommodate smaller file size/storage.

    I would upload onto something like google photos and then share that album link.

      Are you sure Google doesn't do any image compression? I could be wrong but I think I did read an article that said in their processing they did (it was a digital photography article I think).

        Google Photo compresses, Google Drive does not ;)

        • Okay thank you! Good to know. 😀
          They must have been talking about Google photos then.

        • Thanks, I had no idea.

          I have a rooted phone with pixel experience ROM which lets me upload with full quality and it does not count towards google storage.

  • Fwding will fwd from the server.

    • Thanks for the confirmation. Do you know if Line, Signal, Messenger and Wechat all do the same?

      • I can't say for certain but I would be 99% certain, yes, they fwd from the server. Send the photo and delete it from your ph and fwd on in Line,Signal, Msger, what do you think will happen?

        • I think the same.

  • Just add all 10 people to same WhatsApp group and send the photo once.

    • Sorry I didn’t make it clear. They could be 10 different groups.
