A screenshot showing WhatsApp can send more than 20 media files

We’ve all been to that point where we had to send more than 10 media files (photos, audio, video, documents) from our Photos App on our iPhones or while forwarding a bunch of such files we got from a contact to another.

And you might have noticed that Whatsapp’s share functionality gets disabled when you tried to forward more than 10 messages containing media or that the Whatsapp icon doesn’t appear when you try to share those files from the Photos App.

Well, there’s a workaround.

Please note :

  1. This will only work as long as the Whatsapp Team hasn’t fixed this issue.
  2. This will only work only if you received the media files from another contact or when you have send those files to someone.
  3. This works only in iOS.

Solution

To this working,

  1. Open the contact in Whatsapp to whom you have sent the files to / received the files from.
  2. Click on ‘Media, Links and Docs’.
  3. Here you can click on all the items that you want to forward and then press the ‘Share’ button on the bottom.
  4. Scroll the apps on the list and you can find ‘Forward XX messages’ with the Whatsapp icon.
  5. And thats it! Enjoy!
