WhatsApp, or any other instant messaging platform for that matter, has a limit to the size of the file that can be sent across to your contacts through the platform. These limits are put in place in order to keep WhatsApp’s servers clutter free and working in an optimum condition. Show However, these limits do not exactly restrict you from sharing files, be it videos, audios or documents, larger than WhatsApp’s specified limit with your contacts. While you will be shown an error message if you try to send a file larger than 100 MB through the platform, WhatsApp does offer you ways around it. So how exactly can you share such large files through WhatsApp? Read on. The logic behind it When you try to share a file with your contacts through WhatsApp, most of the times, it is a file saved on your smartphone’s storage.

So the alternative around this is simple, a common platform on which the file can be viewed across multiple devices. An effective example of this is YouTube. No matter how big a video file is, you can always share it with your WhatsApp contacts. That is because you only share the YouTube link to the video through WhatsApp, while the original video file is on YouTube’s servers. But YouTube is a public platform. Now we need to use the same logic on a personalised space.
