Bypass WhatsApp Video File Limit

As if you landed here means you are experiencing Whatsapp force you to trim the video you were trying to attached in your chat due to your video file size has exceed 16mb limit.

Just wonder why we could receiving videos which is larger than 16mb from friends or Whatsapp chat group but could not send. There are various tweak available if you google, such as root your android phone to bypass whatsapp from checking the video file size, compress video files or edit the video. But these method is too troublesome.

The good news is there is another not too troublesome method. Use Whatsapp desktop app or web-app to send the video.

Below is the method I normally use...

1. Use SendAnywhere mobile app to send the video file to your PC/Mac.
2. Go to send anywhere website from PC/Mac and download the file being send from your phone.
2. Then attach the video to the chat/group with Whatsapp PC/Mac desktop app or web Whatsapp.

With this method, Whatsapp limit is 64mb. If your video is larger than 64mb... well, I currently do not have a simple solution.
