One of the few things users of the most popular messaging platform don’t like is some of the limits placed on certain features. Fortunately, WhatsApp is working on this. Recently, it became known that soon the 68-minute limit of deleting messages for everyone will be expanded to 2 and a half days.
Well, the time has come to say goodbye to another of the limits that users have criticized so much: the 100 MB to send files. That’s right, WhatsApp is already testing a new file limit with which you can send documents, photos or videos of up to 2 GB.
WhatsApp increases the 100 MB limit so you can send 2 GB files
Although the vast majority of WhatsApp users use this app to send voice messages or notes, there is no doubt that sending files is becoming a more relevant function on the platform . And, while you can send any type of file, from an APK to a photo or document, the 100 MB limit imposed by the platform in 2019 is really insufficient.
In response to the demands and needs of its users, WhatsApp has decided to extend this limit to 2 GB. However, like any new feature launched by the platform, it will first go through a testing phase in which a group of users will be in charge of experimenting with sending 2 GB files via WhatsApp.
When will send 2 GB files by WhatsApp?
Just as WhatsApp has been testing the function of sending cryptocurrencies in the United States for months, it has now selected Argentina as the country that is testing this new feature. This means that, at the moment, only WhatsApp users from Argentina have the new 2 GB file sending limit enabled . Furthermore, this feature is available for both Android, iOS and WhatsApp Web users.
WhatsApp is expected to extend this test to other countries in the coming months and, if no problems arise, it will reach all users natively. And you… Would you like to be able to send 2 GB files via WhatsApp?
