To upload a 4K video to WhatsApp, you may need to compress the video first, as WhatsApp has a file size limit of 16MB for videos. Use a video compression tool or app to reduce the size of your 4K video without significantly affecting its quality. After compression, follow these steps: Open WhatsApp, select the chat where you want to share the video, tap the attach button (clip icon), choose Gallery, find and select your compressed 4K video, and then hit send. Keep in mind that compressing the video to fit WhatsApp's size limit might reduce its resolution.
