WhatsApp's Newest Feature Can Send 2GB Capacity Files

JAKARTA - Already have the latest version of WhatsApp? In its latest update, WhatsApp allows users to send files ranging from documents, photos, or videos, up to a maximum capacity of 2GB.

"We recommend using WiFi for larger files and we will display a timer during upload or download so you know how long the transfer will take," WhatsApp said in its official blog, quoted Friday, May 6, quoted from Antara.

Before adding, users could only send files up to 100MB. WhatsApp argues that this additional capacity can be useful for users who are still in school or micro, small and medium enterprises.

The development of this feature is in line with the newly launched Community on the instant platform. WhatsApp earlier this month announced a series of new capabilities in addition to greater capacity for sending files.

The latest version of WhatsApp supports replying to messages with reaction emojis to prevent groups from being flooded with messages.

"We will continue to improve it by expanding the expression," WhatsApp said again.

This instant messaging application from Meta is gradually increasing the capacity of group members to 512 people.

Previously, the maximum number of WhatsApp group members was 256 people.
