WhatsApp is the most popular one followed by Telegram, Snapchat, Facebook Messenger and WeChat. We use these apps to share our life moments videos and pictures. But sometimes we feel restricted when we try to share a large video or any other file over these messaging apps as each platform has a file size limit.

Recently, a cold war, between WhatsApp and Telegram, has begun for the file size. As users are always eager to get more, these platforms understand their requirements as well. Still, in the present time Telegram is offering the maximum file size limit, then who is behind and how much, let’s find out.

WhatsApp

WhatsApp is the most popular messaging app because of its unique features including video/audio calls, even with multiple people. Soon the platform is going to announce payment feature as well which is currently available in select countries and create Status/Stories as well. But the maximum file size limit is 100 MB, which is quite low.

Telegram

Telegram offers some other unique features like dark mode, secret message, and doesn’t even let the user get details of other people on the group or platform without their consent. The platform recently announced increased file size limit of 1.5 GB which is massive in comparison to other messaging apps.
