WhatsApp news: soon, you will be able to share any type of file and fix / favor conversations

There are news coming to the most used messenger in Brazil. Yes, I'm talking about Whatsapp!

In April 2016, we informed that the service started to accept the sharing of Word (DOC and DOCX), Excel (XLS and XLSX) and PowerPoint (PPT and PPTX) files, in addition to CSV, RTF and TXT files before in addition, it was already possible to share PDFs without problems, too.

Well now, according to the website WABetaInfo, WhatsApp will now accept the sharing of * any * file type, as long as the size limit of 128MB on iOS and 100MB on Android is respected. This means that users can finally share photos and videos without any kind of compression by the messenger, something that until then was not possible.

The novelty is gradually being released; so for now, only a few users can test it. It’s worth noting that if you’re an active user of WhatsApp Desktop (messenger app for computers), the size limit drops to 64MB which doesn’t make any sense, but

Another novelty that should be painted soon on WhatsApp also shared by WABetaInfo, the option to set / favor a particular chat. The feature, also already exists in the competitor Telegram, makes a certain conversation always at the top of the list, making it much easier to access it.
