WhatsAppthe popular instant messaging application owned by Facebook, has just announced a new feature that allows users to send up to 100 photos and 100 videos simultaneously. This new feature is a big step up from the previous limitation of only allowing you to send 30 photos or videos at a time.
The ability to send more visual content in one go on WhatsApp is exciting news for users who often share a lot of media files. This is especially useful for those who want to share multiple photos or videos from a particular event or trip.
No longer will it be necessary to send multiple separate messages, which can be tedious and time consuming. Instead, users will be able to send a large amount of content in a single message. In addition to being more convenient, this new function also has the advantage of helping to reduce the waiting time to send all these photos.
Many users may not like the idea, but in general it is quite interesting and, above all, in certain situations such as chats or WhatsApp groups for exchanging vacation photos.
WhatsApp modifies the number of photos and videos that can be sent
Another advantage of this new WhatsApp feature is that it makes sharing media more efficient for group chats. WhatsApp group chats are very popular among friends and family, and are used to share all kinds of information, including photos and videos.
With the new ability to send more visual content at once, group chat users can share their photos and videos more efficiently and without having to worry about the previous limitation of 30 media files.
It is important to note that despite this new feature, WhatsApp still has a limit on the size of media files that can be sent. The maximum file size that can be sent remains 16 MB for Android and 12 MB for iOS.
The new feature arrives with WhatsApp version 2.23.3.77. for Android mobile devices, so we will have to wait to see if it also applies to other WhatsApp services such as WhatsApp Web. Meanwhile, WhatsApp Web will continue to use the previous limit when sending photos and videos.
