WhatsApp is testing a 2GB file size transfer limit

If you think you need a bigger file size limit on WhatsApp, that might be in the cards for you soon. The company is reportedly testing out a larger 2GB cap for file transfers. WABetaInfo reports it's been tested for some users in Argentina the last few days. The jump will be significant given that WhatsApp retained its 100MB file size limitation since the feature became available on the service in 2017.

You might finally be able to see that TikTok you weren't able to bookmark but wanted to see. TikTok is reportedly working on a new Watch History feature to make it easier to find what you've watched so far. It was spotted by Twitter user Hammod Oh and is accessible through the app's settings and privacy menu. The feature is being tested out, so you might not have access to it yet. The company gave its standard response when asked to comment by Mashable. It says it is "always thinking about new ways to bring value to our community and enrich the TikTok experience."

Before this, TikTok users have resorted to digging through the app's search function to spot previously viewed clips by toggling some filters. But this doesn't show TikToks chronologically, and you need to input a relevant search term. We don't know what the feature will look like if and when it rolls out, but it's certainly an essential feature for making the experience better on the app.
