Join Telegram Join Whatsapp

The file sharing limit on WhatsApp was recently upped to 2GB. This means WhatsApp users can transfer files up to 2GB in size. I'm curious if there is another platform that allows people to exchange such large files, or what size files may be shared on Gmail, Outlook, and other prominent platforms. Here's everything you need to know about,

WhatsApp: Allows up to 2GB of file sharing

WhatsApp just doubled the file transmission limit from 100MB to 2GB. WhatsApp users can share photographs, videos, documents, and other file types in private or group chats.

Gmail: Allows up to 25MB as attachment

Gmail has a maximum attachment size of 25MB. It enables users to exchange any form of file, including images, movies, documents, and so on. Users can also send larger files using Google Drive over the email service.

Telegram: Allows sharing of up to 2GB file size

Telegram was one of the first instant messaging platforms to support up to 2GB file sharing. Users can share photographs, videos, documents, and other media in individual or group discussions.

Attaching files larger than 20MB are not permitted in Microsoft Outlook. Outlook, like Gmail, allows you to share files as OneDrive attachments.

Signal has varying file size limits for various file kinds. The programme, for example, allows users to share photographs of up to 6MB in size, but the maximum for sharing films and files is set at 200MB and 100MB, respectively.

Instagram users can only share photographs and videos via Direct Messages. The limit in this case is 650MB.
