[Feature Request] Add an option to send photos/videos in original quality (uncompressed) by default #190

Description

@avaritiachaos

Feature Description

Add a toggle in Swiftgram Settings (e.g., under Settings -> Swiftgram -> Media / Chat) to "Send Photos as Uncompressed (Original Quality) by Default".

Problem / Motivation

In the default Telegram iOS interface, images and videos selected from the media picker are automatically compressed unless the user explicitly goes through extra steps (such as Attach -> File -> Photo or Video or long-pressing to send without compression).

For users who frequently share high-resolution artwork, photography, design files, or screenshots, having to manually choose "Send as File" for every single photo is repetitive and time-consuming.

Proposed Solution

  • A setting toggle: Always send media in original quality (as file/uncompressed).
  • When enabled, tapping photos in the standard gallery picker and sending them will automatically transmit the original, uncompressed files.

Context / Target Audience

Artists, photographers, and power users who prioritize original image fidelity over compressed previews.
