Are there any limits on file size for sending media on WhatsApp?

Asked 6 months ago
Yes, WhatsApp does impose limits on file sizes for sending media. For photos and videos sent through the application, the maximum file size allowed is typically 16 megabytes. This limit applies to any individual media file shared in chats, whether they are sent in one-on-one conversations or within groups. When it comes to documents, WhatsApp allows users to send files up to a maximum size of 100 megabytes. It is important to note that these limits apply irrespective of the type of document, meaning users can send various formats including PDFs, spreadsheets, and more, as long as they do not exceed this size threshold. If a user attempts to send a file that exceeds these limitations, WhatsApp will display a notification indicating the issue. Users interested in more detailed information regarding current media or document limits can visit the official WhatsApp website for the latest updates.
