Taking pictures and recording videos using your Smart phone is normal now a days. In your smart phone you can record a good HD quality videos but these video files have very large size. A HD video 0f 30-40 sec will be around 18-20 mb. But that is not the concern as most of the smartphone have good memory size.

The thing that concern me is, when i was trying to share or send that video to my friends using WhatsApp. I got a message that says that ” The media file that you have selected is larger than 16 MB. Unable to send file. ”

That means whatsapp does not allow you to send a file like video more than 16 mb.

Now you can install whats aap also in Pc

As such there is no direct way to send a video or file more than 16 mb via whatsapp, earlier this size was limited to 12 mb. But few days back WhatsApp increased this limit from 12Mb to 16Mb.

But to send Your video greater than 16 MB, you need to reduce its size. There are many apps available on Google Play Store Which can reduce Video size.

I tried lots of app to reduce my video size, but most of them have some limitation. But only app “Video Converter Android”

In pro version it directly allows you to select the file and specify the output size. But in lite version you have to work little to get your video size reduced.

First Download and Install “Video Converter Android” from Google play.

Run the app after it finish installation.

Then it will directly scan your device for video file, otherwise you can also import videos.

Now select the video you want to shrink and touch the Convert Button (present at the bottom).

    • Hi Shakir
      As such there is no direct method to upload video more then 16 Mb on Whatsapp. But for this you can use third party service like many free cloud upload service are available. Like Google Drive, Dropbox etc. You can use them. There app is also available you just need to upload your video to cloud and send its link to your friends on Whatsapp. When they will click on that link they can easily access it.

      If you want you can also make some privacy to videos, like to whom you want to show or to not.
