While the default Messages app supports a 100MB video size limit, more is needed. You can reduce the video size on Android, but this affects the overall video quality. Instead, you can use the tricks below and send large videos from your Android phone without breaking a sweat.
There are several ways to send large videos on Android. It totally depends on your preference on how you want to share videos from your phone. You can use instant messaging apps, Google Photos, or third-party apps like Sharik to get the job done. Without further ado, let’s get started.
1. Use Google Photos
The default gallery app on Android is not limited to managing or editing photos. It’s a media backup service ideal for storing and sharing videos and photos on the go.
You need to upload your video to the Google Photos platform and create a shareable link. Before you begin, make sure you have enough Google Drive storage on your account.
Step 1: Open Google Drive on your Android phone.
Step 2: Click on the Hamburger menu (three horizontal lines) in the top right corner and check the remaining space for your account.
If you’re running low on storage, read our separate guide to freeing up Drive space. You can also upgrade to one of the Google One plans to expand your account’s storage. You can also get premium Google Photos editing features, Google VPN, and priority support with your subscription.
Once you have enough storage on your Drive account, upload a large video and share it using the steps below.
Step 1: Launch Google Photos on your phone.
Step 2: Long press on the video and select Backup at the bottom.
Step 3: After the video uploads, select the video and click the share button at the bottom.
Step 4: Select ‘Create Link.’
Step 5: Once Google Photos creates the link, copy and share it via email or your favorite social networking app.
2. Send large videos as files on WhatsApp
WhatsApp no longer limits file sharing to just 100 MB in size. In May 2022, the Meta-owned company announced an increase in the file sharing limit from 100MB to 2GB. You can easily share up to 2GB videos via WhatsApp using the trick below.
Step 1: Save the recipient number on your Android phone.
Step 2: Launch WhatsApp and open the relevant chat thread.
Step 3: Tap the attachment icon and select ‘Document’.
Step 4: Select ‘Browse other documents.’
Step 5: Filter your files by Video using the top menu.
Step 6: Select up to 2GB of video and send it via WhatsApp without any problem.
With 4K and 8K video recording becoming the standard, it’s easy to record videos over 2GB in size. In that case the above trick works for large video sharing on WhatsApp.
You need to use Telegram to send such large videos. If you have a Telegram Premium subscription, you can share videos up to 4GB on the platform. Telegram Premium costs $5 per month in the US and unlocks many features for your account.
Step 1: Launch Telegram on your phone.
Step 2: Select a chat thread and tap the pin icon.
Step 3: Open the file.
Step 4: Open the device gallery or internal memory to send large videos without compression.
So far, we’ve talked about sending large videos from your Android phone to the recipient. If you want to share large videos from Android to desktop, use a third-party app like Sharik.
Step 1: Download the Sharik app on your Android phone.
Step 2: Launch Sharik.
Step 3: Select Send from the main screen.
Step 4: Click File.
Step 5: Select a video you want to send to the desktop.
Step 6: Open your preferred browser on the desktop and go to the suggested link. Make sure your desktop is connected to the same Wi-Fi network.
Step 7: The browser will automatically start downloading the uploaded video to your computer.
You can also download uploaded videos from the Google Photos web and WhatsApp or Telegram desktop apps. However, Sharik is still the easiest way to complete the sharing process.
You can also use Bluetooth to send videos from your Android phone. But it’s slow and inconvenient. What is your favorite way to share large videos on Android? How is your experience with it? Share it in the comments below.
