WhatsApp increased the current limit on the size of files that can be sent via WhatsApp from 100 MB to 2 GB. It is a test that, for the moment, is only available for Argentina.
It is an alternative tool that both users of the classic WhatsApp and the Business version can enjoy. To have this option it is necessary to update the applicationsomething that requires entering Google Play or Apple Store (depending on the operating system you have) and pressing the “update” button next to the app.
This is a long-awaited novelty by users since it will allow the type of documents that are sent through the platform to be expanded. Sometimes it may be necessary to send contracts, study materials or Power Point presentations that usually have an important weight. With this option, you can share all that content without major problems.
It should be noted that this extension of the limit up to 2 GB is specifically for documents but not for multimedia files. In this case, the photos, videos and voice messages, the maximum size allowed of 16 MB. On most devices this equates to between 90 seconds and 3 minutes of video, although the length will depend a lot on the quality.
