For as long as we can recall, WhatsApp has provided its users with the opportunity to share documents, pictures, and videos, however, for some reason, it put restrictions on the file formats that could be sent.

Now, however, the Facebook-owned firm has started testing a new feature that enables people to share any type of file-- even an APK-- provided it's below 100MB on Android and 128MB on iOS.

Sure, 100MB is quite a small limitation, but we're suspecting the restriction is in place to stop users overwhelming WhatsApp's servers through the transfer of enormous files, like ultra-high-resolution video clips and video game.

If you find yourself going to Dropbox, Google Drive or perhaps another platform on your smart device to send files to people you chat with every day, you'll probably welcome this feature with open arms.

I still prefer Telegram if you are talking about file sharing

Reasons:

1. In Telegram, the files I share are on the cloud, not in my phone. This means that if my phone is off, I can on my laptop get the file I uploaded earlier

2. I can send files to myself, that's how I store away some files when email may take longer to attach

3. I don't even need the app to get my uploaded files back, telegram has a standalone web app which you log in with browser and continue from where you stopped on mobile, you don't need to keep the mobile connected.

4. Telegram offers a very crisp and clear voice call to all contacts and it is fully encrypted.

5. No file size limit, you can upload your 300mb movie file and share with anyone

Telegram remains the best for me .flexible file sharing .allow for large number of people in a group .voice and video call are near to instantaneous compare to the junky calls on whatsapp .you don't have to be with your phone to access your telegram account .secret chat ,it prevents rogues from screen shutting your chats .and so on and so on .
