How to Easily Share Big Videos and Files on WhatsApp
Hey there! Today I’m going to show you the simplest way to send those huge videos and files on WhatsApp. We all know how frustrating it can be when the file is too big and it refuses to go through. But worry no more! Follow these easy steps and you’ll be sending your large files in no time.
Step 1: Compress the File
The first thing you need to do is compress your video or file. You might be thinking, “What on earth does compress mean?” Well, it’s like squeezing your file so it takes up less space. You can use special software or apps to do this, and you’ll be amazed at how much smaller your file becomes. This step is crucial to make your file easier to send.
Step 2: Renaming the File
Now it’s time to rename your file. Don’t worry, this step is super simple. Just give your file a new name, something catchy or memorable. By changing its name, you’re giving your file a fresh start, and WhatsApp will be more willing to send it. Believe me, it works like magic!
Step 3: Use Cloud Storage
Here’s a clever trick you can use. Instead of directly sending the file through WhatsApp, you can upload it to a cloud storage service, like Google Drive or Dropbox. These services give you a special link for your file, which you can then share with your friends on WhatsApp. It’s a fantastic way to send large videos without any hassle.
Step 4: Splitting the File
If your file is still too big to send, don’t worry, I’ve got another solution for you. You can split the file into smaller parts and send them separately. WhatsApp allows you to do this, so you can easily send each part to your recipient. Once they receive everything, they can simply put the parts together, like a puzzle. It’s simple and effective!
Step 5: Patience is Key
Last but not least, remember to be patient. Sometimes, even when you’ve done everything right, sending large files can take some time. So while you’re waiting for your video or file to send, why not grab a cup of tea and relax? It’ll be worth the wait, I promise.
So there you have it! By following these steps, you’ll be able to easily send those huge videos and files on WhatsApp. No more frustrations or failed attempts. Give it a try and share your amazing content with your friends and family effortlessly. Enjoy!
Did you know that besides sending messages and making calls, you can also use WhatsApp to transfer videos, files, and even disappearing media? It’s pretty cool, right? In fact, some people even use WhatsApp for business purposes. I mean, why not? It’s convenient and easy to use.
So, here’s the thing. WhatsApp allows you to send files up to 2GB in size. Now, that might sound like a lot, but let’s be honest. When it comes to videos, that limit might not cut it, especially if you want to send those epic vacation videos or memorable moments from a special event.
But fret not! There are workarounds to make file sending easier on WhatsApp. I’ll show you how you can send multiple or even large videos and files on WhatsApp. Let’s get to it!
Sending Files Up to 2GB on WhatsApp
If the file you want to send is large but still within the 2GB limit, you can easily send it directly on WhatsApp. Here’s how:
- So, if you want to send a file to someone on WhatsApp, here’s what you do: open WhatsApp and choose the conversation you want to send the file to.
- Now, look at the bottom left corner of your screen and tap the plus icon.
- A menu will pop up; select either Document if you want to send a file or Photo & Video Gallery if you want to send a photo or video.
- Once you’ve chosen the file, click the send button at the lower left corner of your screen. And that’s it!
Remember, you can always delete WhatsApp messages after you’ve sent them if you want to get rid of any shared files and stop the recipient from downloading them. However, keep in mind that this will only work if the recipient hasn’t already downloaded and saved the file.
Now, let’s talk about compressing videos.
If the file you want to send is a video and it’s too big, one of the best ways to send it through WhatsApp is by compressing it first. There are a few video compressor options out there, but I highly recommend Video Compressor Panda Resizer.
It’s a really useful app that allows you to customize the video’s aspect ratio and reduce its file size. Just keep in mind that compressing the video will make its quality a bit lower. So, only use this method if the video’s quality isn’t that important or if the compression doesn’t affect it too much.
Now, let’s see how you can share files through Google Drive, iCloud, or WeTransfer.
One of the easiest ways to share large videos and files on WhatsApp is by using Google Drive or iCloud. Both of these services are free, but if you run out of space, you might need to pay a little extra. The same goes for WeTransfer.
If you’re an Android user, here’s how you can send a file via Google Drive:
First, open Google Drive and look for the plus button at the bottom right of your screen.
Tap it, then select Upload. Choose the files you want to share and tap Select when you’re done.
Now, head over to the Recent tab to find the file you just uploaded.
Tap the three-dot icon on the right side and select Manage access.
To share the file with someone, tap the plus button at the top right and enter their email address. Or, you can choose the option Anyone with the link under General Access.
Finally, tap the link button to copy the link. And that’s it! Now you can share the link with anyone on WhatsApp.
Now, if you’re an iPhone user, here’s how you can send files via iCloud:
Open the Files app on your iPhone.
Tap on Browse and select On My iPhone.
Select the ellipsis icon at the top right and tap Select.
Check the files you want to send.
Once you’ve chosen the files, tap the ellipsis icon on the bottom right and select Copy X items.
Now, go back to the previous menu and select iCloud Drive.
Long-press the screen and tap paste.
Tap the file you want to send and then select Collaborate located under the file name.
Select WhatsApp and choose the contact you want to send the link to.
And finally, here’s how you can share files through WeTransfer:
Go to the WeTransfer home page.
Click the plus button and upload the files you want to send.
Fill up the form and click the ellipsis button at the bottom left.
Toggle Get transfer link.
Click Get a link and wait for the page to load.
Once the link appears, select Copy link and send it to the recipient on WhatsApp.
