How to Send Multiple Photos on WhatsApp for iPhone and Android

It’s sufficient to say that IM (instant messaging) platforms like WhatsApp and Messenger have become the preferred way to send or receive media files. WhatsApp is planning to add support for up to a 2GB file limit, and in its current state, you can easily send multiple photos to a personal chat or group in the app. Here’s how you can send multiple photos on WhatsApp for iPhone and Android.

You can share up to 30 photos at a time. The limit should be enough for the most users out there. And if you want to share more, you can always perform the steps again and send more photos. Follow the steps below and share your vacation photos or marriage library on WhatsApp.

Send Multiple Photos on WhatsApp for iPhone

There are two ways to send multiple photos on WhatsApp for iPhone. You can either send images from the Photos app or the WhatsApp conversation.

Send Multiple Photos From a WhatsApp Conversation

You are most likely to send multiple photos from a WhatsApp conversation. After all, not many prefer to close WhatsApp and open the Photos app to send media files. Follow the steps below.

Step 1: Open a WhatsApp conversation and tap on the + icon in the bottom left corner. Select Photo & Video Library.

Step 2: From the Photos app, tap on a picture, and it will open the image preview. To add more photos, tap on the + icon beside ‘Add a caption.’

Step 3: Select more photos from the following menu. You can select up to 30 images at once. Hit the Done button at the top, and it will open an image preview in WhatsApp.

You can rotate, add stickers, text, and even doodle on images. Tap on the blue send button and share memories with others.

Use Photos App on iPhone

When scrolling through a large media library in the Photos app, you can select and send up to 30 images over a WhatsApp conversation.

Step 1: Open the Photos app on your iPhone.

Step 2: Tap on the Select button at the top and select multiple photos. Don’t select more than 30 photos. Otherwise, you won’t see WhatsApp in the share sheet.

Step 3: Tap on the share icon in the bottom-left corner and select WhatsApp from suggestions. Select one of the WhatsApp contacts or groups and hit the Next button.

Step 4: Tap on the share button and send images.

WhatsApp won’t allow you to share or forward text or media with more than five conversations to reduce spam and misinformation over the platform.

Send Multiple Photos on WhatsApp for Android

WhatsApp for Android uses a completely different UI compared to the iOS version. The steps to send multiple photos differ on Android. Follow the steps below.

Step 1: Go to a conversation in WhatsApp on your Android phone.

Step 2: Tap on the little pin icon in the message menu. Select Gallery.

Step 3: Select an image and tap on the gallery icon from the following menu. Tap on multiple images and hit the OK button at the top.

Step 4: Tap on send icon and share those photos on WhatsApp.

Similarly, you can use the Google Photos app (the default gallery app on Android) and share multiple photos at once on WhatsApp.

Step 1: Open the Google Photos app on your Android phone.

Step 2: Select multiple images and tap on the share icon at the top.

Step 3: It will open the default share UI in Google Photos.

Step 4: Tap on the WhatsApp app icon from the share sheet.

Step 5: Select a conversation and hit the send icon.

The same WhatsApp sharing limit applies here as well. To combat growing misinformation, WhatsApp will limit the sharing to five chats only.

Send Disappearing Media on WhatsApp

Sometimes, you may want to share private and sensitive media files on WhatsApp. The platform allows you to send disappearing images. Once the recipient opens the image, WhatsApp will delete it from the server-side. Read our dedicated post to learn about how to send disappearing images on WhatsApp.

Share Your Memories on WhatsApp

Sending multiple photos over a messaging app is a standard function, and WhatsApp has nailed the execution here. The UX (user experience) might get confusing to some. Use the steps above and share multiple photos on WhatsApp without any issue.

2 Simple Ways to Make a Photo Collage on Your iPhone

  • There are numerous apps you can use to make a collage on your iPhone by combining multiple photos.
  • You can find a collage builder in Google Photos by tapping Library followed by Utilities.
  • Canva is a particularly powerful collage maker, with thousands of unique templates.

A collage is a powerful way to present your photos — by combining multiple photos into a single image, you can tell a story or share a cohesive moment using nothing but a single visual.  

There is no built-in way to make a custom collage on the iPhone, but you can choose from among many photo apps which can get the job done. Google Photos has a collage mode, for example, and another of our favorites is with an app called Canva. Here's how to make a collage using both apps. 

How to make a collage on iPhone using Google Photos

You probably already have Google Photos installed on your iPhone, which makes this a very convenient way to make a collage. If you don't, install Google Photos from the App Store. Then here's what to do:

1. Start the Google Photos app.

2. At the bottom of the screen, tap Library.

3. At the top of the screen, tap Utilities

You can find the collage tool in the Utilities section of Google Photos. Dave Johnson

4. In the Create New section, tap Collage

5. Select 2-9 photos from your camera roll and then tap Create

Select some images and Google Photos automatically stitches a collage. Dave Johnson

The collage is automatically saved to your camera roll.  

How to make a collage on iPhone using Canva

The best reason to use Canva rather than Google Photos is that Canva doesn't have one photo collage template  — it has thousands. If you don't already use the app, install Canva from the App Store, and then use it to make a collage:

1. Start the Canva app.

2. In the search box at the top of the screen, type "collage" and tap Search

3. In the search results, tap the entry for Photo Collage that has a collage icon to its left. 

Choose Photo Collage in Canva to get access to thousands of collage templates. Dave Johnson

4. Scroll through the collage results and tap one that you like. 

5. When the collage appears on screen, tap one of the photos in the template and then tap Replace. Choose a photo from your camera roll to insert it in the collage. Repeat that for all the other photos in the collage.

6. You can use the tools at the bottom of the screen to continue to customize the collage — change the background color, add or edit text, and so on.  

Select an image frame and then tap Replace to insert a photo from your camera roll. Dave Johnson

The collage is automatically saved to your camera roll.
