In addition to facilitating communication between users, the WhatsApp application is also equipped with multiple functions and tools to carry out additional tasks without having to go to other platforms, such as sending files.

In this sense, the instant messaging service makes it possible to send items with a maximum weight of 100 MB by default. However, there is an easy way to share larger content.

How to send large files by WhatsApp?

The procedure to send material of less than 100 MB is done entirely from WhatsApp. While, for heavier content, it will be necessary to resort to a third-party tool, which allows you to send files of up to 2 GB for free.

Open the WhatsApp application from your smartphone or computer
Enter the individual or group chat where you want to send the file
Tap the Attach button (paperclip icon) located at the bottom right of the chat
Click on the Document option to navigate between your cell phone storage

Write your email, a subject, and a message
Press the send button to upload and send the file
Copy the download link you will receive by email
