This trick can be used to send absolutely anything over whatsapp.
Lets take an android application as an example. Now whatsapp allows video, audio and image file sharing but not something l
Resoike an android application.(ext. .apk)
here it goes:
Go to file manager. And locate the file which you want to share here eg. Abc.apk
Now rename this to abc.apk.mp4
Go to whatsapp->share-> video and select abc.apk.mp4
And message the recipient to rename the file and delete ".mp4" from the name.
Voila.now You can successfully transfer anything over Whatsapp.
I have a trick to transfer any file of any size too. Let it be of something like 1.3gb, you can transfer that too. No root required. Drop a comment if you want to know.
Edit:
To share file of any size over Whatsapp:
This is not so much as a "trick". but it's just a way that I figured out.
The basic idea is splitting the file into 16mb smaller files. (16mb because it is the maximum size of video that can be directly shared over whatsapp.)
To split any file. download "free file splitter" (a freeware)
Its pretty simple. select source file-> destination folder-> set the 'size of a chunk' to custom i.e. 16mb
So if your file is of 1.3GB, you will have 82 files of 16mb size. now using above method. rename each file's extension to '.mp4' and upload all 82 of them following the same procedure as above.
How to receive that 1.3 GB file:
now that you have sent all 82 files to your friend all he needs to do is rename and delete ".mp4" from each one of them. and keep all of the files in the same folder. then your friend will need "free file splitter" installed in his system.
next step is pretty straightforward
Join Files-> select source-> Select destination-> Join.
breakfast is served.
lengthy isn't it?
do tell me if you have any better solution.
