Image resolution too low when uploaded from Facebook messenger


I am building a bot where a user can upload image from their gallery or take a picture.

Facebook messenger provides this to my bot as image_url which when i download provides an image with really low dpi, my backend API runs an OCR on these uploaded images and requires this to above certain DPI.

Is there a way to get better quality images from Facebook ?

It worked initially by enabling the switch in settings as given below in the answer but it has stopped again, not sure why ?

  • Although this is not a code level solution, this should get fixed when a modification is done from the client end on their main Facebook application. For instructions follow,
