Any setting to switch off or rearrange annoying “Options” when sending files?

Hi!

I was trying to send some .PDF from web in WhatsApp today, and noticed that iOS now automatically sends only link to it which is not desired. If I, for example, send a file from password protected website account this is of no use at all as the other person cannot open that link anyway.

And why create something more complicated than it was before. I just want so send files as is / as it was before.

Now I have to do additional steps to try figure what would be the correct option each time as wel.

Similar situation applies to photos. Where I, for example, have saved a full res and size photo, and make even a small adjustment in Photos app, I have even no choice to send that file in full MB anymore as it reduces the size (MB) quite a lot. The only option is to “Save as unmodifid original” in which case I loose the edit/s from Photos.

Also, there are 3 settings under options when sending a photo, which is quite complicated and definitely does not help to send the file in an easy desired way…

Is there any way to swithch off those unwanted options, or at least rearrange the default sending option?

Or, is this maybe different in iOS 18 beta?

Thanks!

Which version of WA? I just checked for version 2.24.14.85 and you for images you send, you can only choose between »Standard« and »HD quality« in WA’s Settings > Storage and data) - and in both cases WA will recompress.

I also checked a few PDFs I have stored on the phone. These were just sent by WA. How big are the PDFs you want to send? I think there are limits set by app e.g. for sending mail, usually defined by the mail server, you go over the limit and a link is send. And I would not be surprised, if WA has a file size limit too.

It’s not the WA. It’s iOS. Happens in messages as well with .pdf or when saving a picture from Photos app to files on the phone etc.
