Change the accent color

Set the default image quality
When exporting images to JPEG or HEIF file formats you can choose the quality at which you want to save them. In other words, you can determine how compressed the final images will be. If you want to always export at a certain quality, you can save this setting as default. The setting will also apply when automatically saving changes or sharing images to other apps.
- In the Photos or the Files browser, tap Preferences at the top of the screen.
- Drag the Image Quality slider to set the desired image quality.
The lower percentage means the image file is more compressed and smaller in size.
