MEDIA FILE SIZE
In March 2022, WhatsApp was testing a feature that lets people in Argentina share media files up to 2GB, so some lucky users were finally able to send larger documents. Last month, WhatsApp started to release the same feature to a few more people outside of Argentina, but it still was a small test. Today, after installing the new WhatsApp beta for Android 2.22.13.6 update, more users are finally able to share documents up to 2GB since the rollout is really wider now!
As you can see in this screenshot, it is very easy to test if you can already send documents up to 2GB in size: just try to send a large document in a conversation and see what happens. If you don't have this feature enabled for your WhatsApp account, you can only send documents up to 100MB in size and you need to wait for another update to get the feature.
The ability to send larger documents has been rolling out to more people today (even some people on certain previous versions), and more activations are planned over the coming weeks.
