Whatsapp in its most recent update has modified its sharing capabilities. File sharing which was introduced last year was restricted to Pdf Files only. Now with this latest update, you can share any type of file using WhatsApp. The maximum limit available per file is 100MB. However, as Geeky Gadgets suggests, there are reports that Apple devices are able to send much bigger files as well.
Details of the update
- With the upgraded sharing capability, this update also allows users to see their photos and videos from phone gallery on Whatsapp by swiping up in-app camera. Those who love to send lots of pictures at once, these pictures will now be grouped into a new gallery which will only display five photos along with last thumbnail showing how many total images have been sent.
- Previously, Whatsapp used to compress images to secure some storage. But now with this upgrade, photos will be shared with original size hence the original quality of the image will remain intact.
