Now that it’s possible to send files up to 2GB in size on WhatsApp, the possibilities for using the app as an always-on-hand way of transferring documents are multiplying. A related innovation is on the way, as WaBetaInfo explains, comments on documents.

You can add a photo or video on WhatsApp before sending it. a small text description to accompany them, but this does not happen if you send a document. It looks like text descriptions will also reach all files and all versions of WhatsApp in the future.

Add context to your documents

You can send many things on WhatsApp: chats, voice notes, photos, videos, location, stickers, animated GIFs, emojis… Most of these items describe themselves, but sometimes you may need it. add some context so that the conversation does not turn into a huge mess.

Until now this could be done in the step before sending a photo or video (now the same step where you can pixelate parts of a photo), but you can’t if you used the button. send documentthe maximum size you can send any file type to chat, now 2GB.

The innovation was once again discovered by WaBetaInfo and at the same time we can add a comment when submitting documents in the step before the text is actually sent. So far, if you choose a document, it will be sent without further ado, without a step.

The difference is that in this previous step where you add the annotation, all sorts of editing tools appear when it comes to a photo or video, whereas in PDF submissions all sorts of editing tools appear. box to add name, number of pages and text. It is unknown at this time whether this statement applies to any file type or only to “real” documents such as PDF files.

there will be a change interesting for those who need to send a lot of documents So instead of having to send additional messages referring to them, they can somehow identify them in the same message. We still won’t know when it will be released for users.
