Make image quality higher
See original GitHub issueProblem Images, including screenshots, in Chat are low quality and hard to read on mobile, web and desktop.
Here’s an example for an imaged I opened in a new tab. https://www.expensify.com/chat-attachments/629690198/w_7a36c2c0e29027b06146ea646fffdcce709900e0.png.320.jpg
Solution
I think the easiest way to make the images ‘better’ would be to link them to open outside of Chat in a browser at the original, full-size file. ie. for the link above, the full-size link is almost identical to above but doesn’t include .320.jpg
at the end.

Note We want to finish this GH that allows for uploading images first
This would also solve an issue of mobile images being small and tough to read because you currently can’t expand, zoom, copy images or open them outside of Chat.

So the hack (https://github.com/Expensify/ReactNativeChat/pull/400) turns out to be a step backwards for mobile clients as they will have to download the full image size. I agree that we keep this as a medium and I will look into a better long term solution down the road.
@Jag96 and I were discussing this one briefly and came up with a quick POC solution, so I can implement it real quick.
