WhatsApp is testing another beneficial feature for individuals who want to transfer large files over the chat service, following the recent rollout of multi-device support for all users. Thanks to this new function, you may soon be able to share files up to 2GB over WhatsApp. The messaging behemoth, which is owned by Meta, has begun testing the increased capacity restriction for media file sharing and has handed it out to a small group of beta testers. So, take a look at the specifics.
WhatsApp is Set to Allow Users to Share Files Up To 2GB In Size In The Near Future
According to a recent report from reputed WhatsApp beta tracker WABetaInfo, the messaging app has lately begun testing a 2GB file size limit for some users when exchanging media files.
Currently, you can only transmit files up to 100MB to WhatsApp subscribers. You will be able to send files up to 2GB in size on the messaging platform with the new capability. In Argentina, WhatsApp is testing a new 2GB limit for media file sharing
The feature is presently available in WhatsApp beta for Android v2.22.8.5, v2.22.8.6, and v2.22.8.7, as well as WhatsApp beta for iOS v22.7.0.76, according to WABetaInfo. Furthermore, it is said to have only been sent out to a small number of beta testers in Argentina as of now. Although it is planned to be rolled out to more people in the future, it is possible that WhatsApp will reverse the test and not deploy it to the stable channel after the test.
However, the ability to share media files up to 2GB via WhatsApp will be beneficial to users, particularly business users, as it will reduce the need to send huge media files to users via other file-sharing platforms.
