Hello guys,

The videos recorded with the camera application when they are sent by Whatsapp are sent with very poor quality, with slowdowns (lag), as if the moment of compiling or compacting the video by the WhatsApp app was not right. I have a Mi11 Lite and my previous Mi9 this did not happen (a colleague with the Xiaomi 12 does not have this problem either), it is true that when sending via WhatsApp the quality drops, but in the case of the Xiaomi 12 PRO it is horrible, a video remains useless.

Has anyone else encountered this problem? Do you think it's a problem with the phone or WhatsApp?

My Xiaomi 12 PRO is de EEA with actuality version 13.0.17.0 (SLBEUXM) but I have this problem since I bought it, 2 MIUI updates have already passed but the problem has not been fixed

Thank you for your answers.

I was facing the same issue too when I sent the video to my colleague through WhatsApp. They complain that the video is stuttering and unpleasant to watch. Then I tried to send through WeChat, the quality is good. So I guess it's due to WhatsApp. You may try to send through other apps and see the result.

Thanks for your answer, yesterday I installed GoogleCamara and if you record the video from the Google Camera and send it it is seen correctly...then it makes me doubt if the problem is Miui Camera...I found complaints from Oppo users with the same problem. It's a problem that annoys me very much, I love the phone, it's amazing, but these things leave a bad taste in my mouth... and even more so being a €1,000 phone... let's see if with some WhatsApp update or of the Miui Camera is solved. greetings and thanks

Hello, i recording at 1080p 30/60fps, de problems not is the resolutions, is the Miui Camera Vs Whatsapp compression... if i recording with GCam and send this video dont show this problem... for my, this is a very big mistake and i belive that Xiaomi o Whatsapp will not fix this problem because i readed that OnePlus models or Oppo models show the same error and not fixed never... I will wait 1 or 2 new updates for Miui or for Whatsapp, if this problem not fix i will sale the Xiaomi 12 PRO. I loving it this phone but i belive can't have this mistaks a phone cost 1000€.

If someone can think of how I can solve the problem or contact Xiaomi to see if they know they have this problem in their "top of the range" phone, I would appreciate it.

Thanks

I'm also using version 13.0.18 (EEA), and the videos recorded by Miui Camera work perfectly on whatsapp.

Try to update your camera to version 4.3.0 (Chinese Rom), and in the camera settings, make sure to use the h.264 codec

This weekend i could test with differents videos resolutions and discovered that when do you recording with 4K 30 or 60 FTP this problem with Whatsapp disappear or is it not so obvious but if you recording with 1080 30/60 the problem appears.

Hi Guys. Easiest solution to this is disabling both HDR and HLG from camera settings menu. Also, do not select HDR manually while recording a video. MIUI 13 has no internal decorders to convert HDR/HLG videos back to normal while sending in whatsapp.

This did not work for me. The only thing that worked was switching to 4K which is not really a viable long term solution. Anything 1080p does not send properly. However, if I run the video through something like "stabilize footage" in Google Photos and then send it, it will be fine.

This is the last time I buy Xiaomi.
Had enough of them.

Also the issue with the mute button during a call is frustrating .

Also having the same issue with a Mi 11i. Any video that gets compressed or reencoded by WhatsApp turns into a stuttery blurry mess. Very annoying.

Here's what I found out.

1. Whatever the resolution, if I enable HDR, when sending via WhatsApp the other party receives only one second of footage with wrong colors
2. If using H.264 or H.265 but 1080p and no HDR, sending via WhatsApp, the other party receives a stuttering video
3. If setting 4K or 720p and no HDR, video received is smooth

    Thank you for testing this in depth. I haven't checked every single step, but 4K and Whatsapp without HDR seem to do the trick!! Finally no more compressing or other annoying workarounds!
