New WhatsApp Feature: WhatsApp Will Allow You To Share Media Files Up To 2GB Soon

News 18  

WhatsApp lets you send messages, images and documents as well. The testing is compatible with both Android and iOS platforms, and WhatsApp could be using a select group of users to test it because the 2GB size limit could become rather challenging to operate at this level for the platform right now. If WhatsApp does release the 2GB file share limit for all its billions of users in the coming months, other platforms could be forced to change their tact and open up their channels for large file sizes as well. The ability to send files as large as 2GB could also work in favour of those sending high-quality photos that are now captured using high-end smartphones. WATCH VIDEO: Why Smartphones Are Becoming Expensive In India, Explains Xiaomi India COO Muralikrishnan B We’ll be keeping a close eye on updates for this one, and hoping that WhatsApp succeeds in its tests to make 2GB a reality for its users soon.
