WhatsApp users may soon be allowed to exchange files up to 2GB in size, similar to Telegram
WhatsApp is working on a new feature that will allow users to share files up to 2GB in size. According to a WABetaInfo article, the Meta-owned instant messaging software intends to catch up to Telegram, which currently enables users to exchange huge files of up to 2GB in size.
According to the article, the new WhatsApp function is presently being tested with a select group of iPhone users. Details regarding the planned WhatsApp functionality have been discovered in iOS beta release 22.7.0.76.
According to the upgrade, WhatsApp will increase the file size restriction to 2GB at a time. On the Facebook-owned app, users may now transfer up to 100MB of files at a time.
The experiment is now being carried out with iOS users in Argentina. Screenshots included in the study show that WhatsApp is issuing notifications to users notifying them of the increased file-sharing restriction.
According to the article, while the screenshot posted is from an iOS device, the option to transfer media files up to 2GB is also accessible to some beta testers in Argentina who use WhatsApp beta for Android.
As of now, it is unknown when the update will be generally available to both iOS and Android users. In reality, WhatsApp may reverse the modifications by reinstating the prior restriction following the test.
Transferring WhatsApp chats from Android to iPhone is another much-requested WhatsApp feature that is in the works. According to WABeta, the firm is already working on a feature that would allow users to convert WhatsApp chats from Android to iOS. The business has added functionality for transferring WhatsApp conversations from an iPhone to a Samsung smartphone.
