Contacts' profile pictures are too small. about telegram HOT 5 CLOSED

I'll close this issue since it only appears on the the Beta version from the Play Store. Why the Beta version is behind the 'stable' one?

Reopen, I took a closer look and it does show pictures in low resolution.

Here a comparison between the Telegram N (first one) and Telegram S (and S beta):

My question is: Why do you want a good quality picture if you can't save it to your gallery?

In Telegram Official you actually can do it, so it's normal that it loads in good quality, but in Telegram S... I don't see the point.

It's not to save it, it simply isn't good enough to stalk appreciate the profile pictures. :D

Maybe another example would point it better:

Telegram N:

That was ok, I can even read the t-shirt... Now telegram S:

Not that ok. See? :)

Well, those screenshots you attach are zoomed, I asume, because if not the picture would be in a squared shape... So, when you don't zoom the profile picture, it shows pretty well, but when you zoom it in, it looks blurred...

I agree with you when you say that pictures would have good quality, everybody like to see pictures well, but, if you think in the practical use of it, lowing a bit the quality improves the loading time and as you can't save it to your phone, the problem doesn't seem too big.

If you try Telegram N (or Telegram Official), you'd see it happens the same BUT with pictures sent in the chat. THAT'S a problem, because when you save the picture to your gallery, it's in a low shameful quality.

Anyway, I see your point, quality would be a bit higher (not full quality, but a decent one at least) 😉
