What the estimate assumes
Approximate size of one minute of iPhone video. Figures marked “Apple” are the approximate sizes Apple shows in Settings → Camera → Record Video; the others are our estimates. Real files vary with motion, light and HDR.

FAQ
Questions, answered
What is the WhatsApp video size limit?
A video sent as a regular chat message can be up to 16 MB. Sent as a document, a file can be up to 2 GB, but the person gets a file to download instead of a video that plays in the chat.
How accurate is this estimate?
It’s a rough guide. It uses the approximate per-minute sizes Apple lists for iPhone recordings (and our own estimates for 720p 60 fps and 480p). Real files vary with motion, light and HDR. If you know the file size, enter it for an exact check.
How do I make a video fit WhatsApp?
Lower its bitrate and, if needed, its resolution — a phone screen shows 1080p, so 4K isn’t needed for chat. Video Compressor does this on your iPhone and can aim just under 16 MB. See the guide for free methods too.
