I am developing an app for android devices like WhatsApp. It is already in a very advanced state and I am correcting minor problems that I was encountering. But this one I am having difficulty solving in particular.
The goal would be to compress the profile and cover photo to take up less space on Firebase Storage. Compression would then have to work for both Profile and Cover Image.
