If the audio (or video) file you want to send goes over WhatsApp’s 64MB limit, the following apps can help you. They are easy to use, so you have nothing to worry about if you don’t get along with technology very well.
1. WinZip
To send larger files via WhatsApp and other messaging apps, create an archive using WinZip. While the resulting archive will be about the same size as the original file, you’ll be able to share it on the app more smoothly using the “Document” option. Follow the steps below.
2. MP3, MP4 Audio Video Cutter, Trimmer, Converter
If you’re looking to save some space on your Android device, then you may want to use an audio compressor app, such as MP3, MP4 Audio video Cutter. Compression works differently than archiving, so at the end of the process you’ll have a file that is significantly smaller in size than the original. If you don’t want to use MP3, MP4 Audio Video Cutter for some reason, another audio compressor app worth trying is MPA Audio Compressor.
3. Audio Converter
If you don’t feel like installing an additional app on your Android device, use a web tool instead, such as Audio Converter. You will have to access it in a mobile browser, like Chrome or Firefox. Unfortunately, the web tool is not optimized for mobile, so you may have a bit of trouble navigating it. On the bright side, the tool lets you upload from a computer, Google Docs/Dropbox and even a link. You can upload most audio files, including .mp3, .wav, .mp4 and .flac.
