Kliche or a WhatsApp group to share holiday photos?
The WhatsApp group is already there, everyone has it on their phone, so that is where the photos end up. Here is what changes when you put them in a Kliche album instead.
WhatsApp information checked on on its HD photos help page.
| Criterion | Kliche | WhatsApp group |
|---|---|---|
| Quality | JPEG, PNG and WebP in original quality, without recompression | Standard quality by default; “HD” to choose when sending or in settings |
| Finding the photos | All in the album, filterable by Place, Day, Person, Outing, Moment | Mixed in with the chat messages |
| Who has sent everything? | “Album ready” shows who has sent nothing, with a button to nudge them | You have to ask in the group |
| Watching together | Same photo at the same moment for everyone, cursors, laser, drawing | Everyone scrolls on their own |
| Voice | Built-in call, or a button that opens your WhatsApp call | Group call |
| Getting the photos | One ZIP file of the album in original quality | Photo by photo, in the quality received |
| Lifetime | Erased 3 days after creation | Stays in the chat and on the phones |
Stay on WhatsApp if…
you share a few photos in the moment, to react right away. It is quick and everyone already has it.
Open a Kliche album if…
you want all the trip’s photos in one place, in original quality, then watch them together. Keep the WhatsApp group for chatting: the Kliche room can even open your WhatsApp call with one button.
Both together: post the album link in the WhatsApp group, and everyone sends their photos to it.
All the group’s photos, in original quality.
Create the album and send the link to the group.
