Meta has increased the file size sharing limit up to 100MB. Earlier it was 25 MB. The increased file size in Facebook Messenger makes high-quality video and photo sharing possible.
As a user, you can upload your videos on Timeline, pages, or groups.
But what if you want to share something with your friend only? This is where users consider using Messenger.
With the increased file size limit now, users can easily share HD videos, GIFs, photos, and audio files.

Messenger File Sharing Size:
Messenger file-sharing sites are not up to 100MB. Meta announced the increased file size on the Threads platform.
Messenger’s account on Thread posted a video explaining the update to increased file size.
The video also explains that you can share multiple file formats, such as
- Word
- Excel
- Shared albums
You can directly upload files from your desktop to Messenger.
Why Did Messenger Increase File Sharing Size?
According to Exploding Topics, Facebook Messenger has 1 billion active users worldwide.
Most of the users spend time watching Facebook Reels and videos. You can share videos on Messenger with your friends and family, but the 25MB limit feels small.
HD videos need more size than low-quality videos. 100MB is an ideal file-sharing size limit to allow users to send their personal and professional files without breaking them into pieces.
Benefit of Increased File Size on Messenger:
- Share files up to 100MB in size.
- Share HD Videos
- Support Word, Excel, and PDF documents.
- Accessible on mobile and desktop.
How to Share Large Files on Messenger?
It is quite easy. Just follow these steps:
- Go to Messenger.
- Open the friends chat where you want to share the file.
- Desktop users click on the image icon to attach a file. Up to 100MB. Messenger app users can click on the ‘+’ icon to upload a file.
- Click on the “send” icon to send the file to your friend.
On the Messenger app, you get the different options to upload images, Meta AI, files, games, and location options.
You can also record and upload audio files directly on Messenger.
Conclusion:
Messenger’s increased file-sharing size is an important update for those who want to send large files online. The 100MB file size is quite less than the file size you can upload on WhatsApp. WhatsApp allows you to upload and send files up to 2GB.
But Messenger and WhatsApp both serve different purposes. Even though both are used for sending messages, videos, and files, Messenger users do not send large files as compared to WhatsApp users.
Messenger is still known as the best place to chat with your friends, family, and acquaintances.
You can send files up to 100MB in size on Messenger, but if you need to send large files, then consider WhatsApp.
