How to upload a long video on WhatsApp status

WhatsApp is one of the most popular messaging apps in the world and currently has over 1.500 billion active users. It's also a great way to share videos with friends and family, but unfortunately it doesn't allow for sharing long videos.

In this article we will show you two ways to overcome this limitation: first, by using an application called Video Compressor (available for iOS y Android), which allows you to split your long video into multiple parts and then upload each piece to WhatsApp status; secondly, by using WhatsCut Pro+, an app that automatically splits your video before sharing it on WhatsApp so that it doesn't exceed 30 seconds per segment.

How to share a long video on your Whatsapp statuses

• Step 1:: Open WhatsApp on your mobile phone and go to the main screen, where you will find all your contacts and chats.
• Step 2:: Tap the status icon located in the bottom right corner of your screen, this will open a new screen where you can write your status message.
• Step 3:: Once you have finished writing what you want to share with your friends via WhatsApp, tap on "plus" which is located at the bottom left corner of this screen and select “video” from there to add media like pictures or videos into it (your friend won’t be able to see them until they hit the play button).
• Step 4:: After selecting the video option from the options menu listed above in step 3, click on the record button located at the top left corner of this page; once you are done recording a long video clip, wait for 5 seconds before hitting the stop button as it may take some time before the publishing process completes itself depending on the length of the recorded video; once you are done with the publishing process, simply hit the send button located at the bottom right corner.

Upload a video to WhatsApp status without losing quality

To do this, you need to compress the video using the app's default compression and share it in a compressed format.

For this you can use an editing application such as:

• Paint
• VideoPad Video Editor 4 (free)
• Adobe Premiere Elements 15 ($99)

Post Long Videos to Whatsapp Status Using an App on iPhone and Android

Using the app, you can compress the video and then upload it to WhatsApp. You can also use this app to post your long videos on status.

• Step 1:: Install and open «Long Video Status» on your phone (it's free!)
• Step 2:: Press «comprimir«. This will bring up a menu with options for making different types of videos (e.g. square style Instagram, vertical orientation). Select the one that suits you best.
• Step 3:: If you have multiple short clips in one video file, select “Split” from this menu and choose which clip(s) you want to cut into separate files, then tap a button that says “Share» (or something like that).
• Step 4:: At this point you will see an option asking you whether or not you want our newly created clips to be re-joined when you share them on social media (such as Facebook).
• Step 5:: Choose «[X] Disunite» if this is what you want – otherwise just leave things alone by playing «[ ] Do not attach».

Using Video Compressor

If you want to upload a video on WhatsApp that is longer than the allowed length, you need to compress it first. Download the Video Compressor app and follow the steps below:

• Step 1:: Select the video you want to compress.
• Step 2:: Click on «Select destination«, select the desired destination (it must already be inside your computer).
• Step 3:: Brand "Use as source» if necessary. Then click the “Convert” button to convert the selected video into any format that can be sent via WhatsApp.

Using SplitVideo

If you like sharing long videos with your friends on WhatsApp and want to do it in a more convenient way, you can use the SplitVideo app for Android and iOS. This app allows you to share a long video in several parts of up to 10 minutes each. It also allows you to share videos on Instagram, Facebook and Twitter. The best thing is that it is completely free!

Using WhatsCut Pro+

WhatsCut Pro+ is a software that allows you to split your videos into smaller pieces, compress them and share them on WhatsApp.

To do this, follow these steps:

• Step 1:: Open the WhatsCut Pro+ application.
• Step 2:: Click on «Select File» and select your video file from the list of files on your device (you can also import a new one). If there are no recorded clips from WhatsCut Pro+, will be displayed as "No file«.
• Step 3:: Select how much time will be cut from each part as needed

E.g., if you want to send just one second of video clip instead of several minutes, then set this option to 99 seconds which corresponds to approximately one minute (60 seconds * 1/100) because it is ideal for keeping things short while communicating via text messaging apps like WhatsApp or Facebook Messenger; so if someone wants only 1-5 seconds, then set the minimum value to 50 seconds, etc….

The maximum value is up to 999 seconds, but I wouldn't recommend going beyond 200-300 seconds because otherwise people won't get bored waiting for too long before getting a notification about receiving a new message in their inboxes! And we don't want others to get annoyed, right?

How to upload a long, already compressed video to your WhatsApp status?

If you want to upload an already compressed video to your WhatsApp status, you must use an application like Video Compressor or SplitVideo.

• Step 1:: Connect your phone to your computer and open the app. Now select which part of the video you want to compress and share with WhatsApp.
• Step 2:: Now go back to your WhatsApp application, tap on "Condition" and type the text message you want, as well as attach any attachments, such as images or videos from your gallery or camera roll. Then, press the button "Add" located in the lower right corner of the screen, above the icon "Sent" (left side).
• Step 3:: Finally, hit the send button after writing the title of your WhatsApp status update.
