Now when people have access to smartphones with good cameras, everyone captures a lot of photos and shares them on social media. In the past, we used to have VGA cameras on smartphones. With time, smartphone companies have started improving cameras. Now if you look at a photo captured using a smartphone in 2011, it will be low in resolution.
