I have seen many WhatsApp users looking for the solution & posting on different forums about how they can send apk, pdf, exe, zip, rar, and other file formats on WhatsApp which is not supported by default. For all those users, I am sharing this article, covering the steps to send unsupported files on WhatsApp.
The same method works for both, iPhone as well as for Android WhatsApp users. This means that WhatsApp users can share pdf or even zip/rar files among WhatsApp contacts irrespective of the platform(Android/iOS).

You can even send large files of any format on WhatsApp through dropbox.
Note: If you are worried about the space on your Dropbox, then you can automatically delete Dropbox files on a schedule.
Send Unsupported Files on WhatsApp using PC
If you want to send files through desktop to your WhatsApp contacts, then you need to use WhatsApp Web. The procedure is almost same as for app.
1) Signup on Dropbox and upload the file you want to send. You can upload any files like zip, rar, pdf, exe or others files.
2) Once you have uploaded, create the link and copy it.
3) Open WhatsApp Web and paste the link on the chat box of the contact whom you want to send.
You can also send the same link to multiple WhatsApp contacts at once. Making sharing easy.
This way you can even send apk files through WhatsApp, for which many users were looking for the solution. Drop your comments if you are facing any issue while sending files to your WhatsApp contacts.
