Right now, One of WhatsApp’s Achilles heels is at the limit of sending files. In most cases 100 MB is usually sufficient, but not always. In fact, the platform has already enabled the possibility of sending files up to 2 GB in Argentina, but not in other countries.

In fact, it should also be taken into account that WhatsApp is not the same everywhere. In some countries, such as Brazil, the possibility of making payments between friends through the application has been implemented for some time.

Estimated waiting time to go both up and down

Chances are, you transferred a file to a USB stick on the computer. later WhatsApp is testing a window similar to the one that appears when we perform such an action: A screen showing the approximate time remaining until the transfer is complete.

This new window it applies both for uploads, when sending a file and when we download a file. What the file occupies, and even the format it is in, will still appear as it does now.

It turns out that this change is due to large files, because with the current speed, files up to 100 Mb, The estimated download time is practically instantaneous.

It is not clear when it will arrive, but hopefully combined with the possibility of larger filesdirect competition where Telegram already has a huge advantage.
