Are you trying to send these from the local device? I don't think iOS supports this, not like android anyway.

This suggests the documents need to be on iCloud or other cloud storage to do so. Perhaps try that.

WhatsApp > Settings > Chats and turn on "Save to Camera Roll" option.

Settings > Privacy > Photos and enable WhatsApp

Once in your iphones photos you can use itunes or image capture mac app to transfer to hour computer.

Sending photos as documents for full meta?

Posted by TechRemarker · in r/whatsapp · 2 years ago

Apple Messages allows sending friends/family photos with full meta data (great) but not with iPhone to Android. Faceook Messenger and Signal strips all meta data. I’ve heard you can send Photos to friends/family as Docs in What’s app to include alll meta.

Will photos show normally when setting as a document?
Will auto download photos setting to Apple Photos library work when a person sends as a document?
Able to send multiple photos at once when using the send as document method?
When selecting send document are you still able to easily open photo browser easily?

WhatsApp on android does not let me send password protected Microsoft office documents

Posted by aeroengg · in r/androidapps · 1 year ago

I can send password protected Microsoft office documents like pptx, docx etc without any issue on iOS and also through the WhatsApp client /app on windows. However, on android when I pick up a password protected file I get a prompt that the file I have picked is not a document.

The lack of this feature is really killing me as I heavily rely on WhatsApp to transmit and receive work documents but we are required to to password protect these files and this issue is forcing me to use an iPhone.

Please advise and help on what to do? Thanks

Usually I don't have that kind of problem. Anyway, if it is the case, just zip it (without or with pass on zip) and send it as zip.

WhatsApp not showing on Move To iOS app - help!

Posted by Commercial_Can_3291 · in r/whatsapp · 3 years ago

First time posting here. My wife is trying to move to iOS since all her work all but uses apple for pretty much everything. With WhatsApp now allowing transfers to iPhone, she though she’d finally move her last device to Apple.

The snag however is that WhatsApp isn’t appearing on the MoveToiOS app.

Please help, this is driving both of us crazy.

We’ve followed all guides (incl. the WhatsApp one) and all versions of iPhone, WhatsApp, etc are updated. The only thing I’m not 100% sure about is the MoveToiOS version. On her phone it looks like it was last updated on 1 June so not sure if that makes a difference.

I had trouble with this too as i was not seeing the option to select Whatsapp in the Move to iOS app. I download the latest Whatsapp Beta version as of today: 2.22.16.3. Once i had the latest beta version, i saw the option to select Whatsapp in the Move to iOS app. In the google play store the Move to iOS apps Last Update date is June 1st.

If you are not WhatsApp beta testers, you are not available to use move to ios app to transfer WhatsApp. The function is rolling out. But it is not certain when it is available for general WhatsApp users. If you are urgent in transferring WhatsApp, you can try one WhatsApp transfer tool called Tenorshare iCareFone Transfer. And you don't need to factory reset your iPhone! my sister tried the software before and it did well in transferring WhatsApp.

There may be several reasons, you can check these:

Your Android phone must have Android OS Lollipop, SDK 21 or higher or Android 5 or higher.
Your iPhone must be iOS 15.5 or later
Your WhatsApp should be updated to the latest version
Make sure your iPhone and Android phone are on the same network and connected to the same Wi-fi
Make sure your phone is connected to a power source

Depends on what type of files you're talking about and whether you're looking to edit them on your phone. But generally try OneDrive if you use that on windows. Then install onedrive on your iPhone.

I use OneDrive to copy a lot of files to and from my iPhone. Makes it real easy to get photos on my desktop compared to emailing them as I had done in the past.

I think it has nothing to do with the file size but with the file. Maybe WhatsApp is blocking the file due to file format or it's detecting it's corrupted. It happened to me when I downloaded a video from Reddit and tried to send it via whatsapp, but it didn't let me send the file.

LValentinoX · OP · 1 year ago

It’s a video I made in selfie mode with my iPhone 13 pro. Seems to me such a file shouldn’t be an issue, right?

BiriyaniMonster · 1 year ago

Maybe the file codec is causing the issue but sending the file as a document should not cause any issue. Try to send a larger non multimedia file for once.
