Hi,

I could't find any way that can increase video size limit without using root permissions...

I just downloaded and installed Kingroot v4.8.5 APK because I learnt it can root my phone. Now that I have installed it. Please what next. Thanks

Before you begin:
There are two things that you should keep in mind, the device needs to be rooted so it can open the file and edit it and a root explorer with text editor is required. For this we’d recommend Root Browser By Jrummy. Apps. So lets start.

  1. WhatsApp should be installed and the user should be logged in.

  2. Open the Root Browser app.

  3. Grant Root permission when the message prompts.

  4. Open ‘data’ and press ‘data’ again.

  5. Open the ‘com.WhatsApp’ folder then the ‘shared_prefs’ folder. Here you will find the main file by the name of ‘com.WhatsApp_prefrences.xml’.

  6. Long tap on ‘com.WhatsApp_prefrences’ and press Open with.

  7. From the list of given apps, open RB Text Editor.

  8. You will see the file opened with the text editor.

  9. Now you must find these key words from the text provided.

  1. Now change the number 16 to your desired value.

  2. The numbers replaced are in MBs and should be set to the maximum of 2048.

  3. Now you should save and exit the file.

  4. Reboot your device on time and enjoy increased file sharing.
