The announcement comes within a month’s time when WhatsApp confirmed that it is working on the feature. Previously, the company announced that the 2GB file sharing feature is in the works. However, the company did not confirm the timeline of the update rollout back then. Today, WhatsApp, through Twitter, confirmed the rollout. The update will soon allow users to send files up to 2GB on WhatsApp. There is no exact date announced. Therefore, we would advise our readers to keep an eye on the update on the App Store or the Google Play Store.Other than the 2GB filing sharing feature, the Meta-owned company is also working on message reactions. The feature will be similar to Reactions on Facebook, where you can express various emotions like love, care, anger, etc. Facebook currently has seven such reactions. It is unknown if WhatsApp will support all seven reactions or perhaps include even more on the app.
