Snapchat picture is pixelated when zoomed in

[AC Question]

Hi,

I'm having this strange issue, when using Snapchat and zooming in (even a little bit) it goes pixelated. Native camera app works perfectly but Google Camera (installed from apk) has the same problem as Snapchat.

I have a Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 Pro, a month old. Running default global rom 8.2.4.0.

Any help will be appreciated!

Regards,
Kerdo

Many (most?) of the instant messaging apps will downsize and/or compress your pictures before sending them because sending large pictures is expensive.

How big (in pixels) is your photo to start with?
How big (in pixels) is your photo after Snapchat plays with it?
