How to Always View Images in High Quality on X (Twitter) [Mobile]

On X (formerly Twitter), images don’t always display in their original quality. To save data, the app often compresses them, which can make photos look less sharp. Still, there are times when you want to see every image in full quality.

In this guide, we’ll show you how to change your settings so images always display in high quality on X. Since this option isn’t available on the desktop version, the steps below apply only to the mobile app.
