Getting your WhatsApp DP right
WhatsApp doesn't publish an official size. It shows a square photo inside a circle, so this makes a 640 × 640 square, which looks sharp on any phone.
The corners of the square are hidden by the circle. Keep faces and anything important near the middle, and avoid text close to the edges.
Choose Fit with a blurred or coloured background to keep a wide photo whole instead of cropping it.
