Social networks and messaging applications let us share all kinds of content with our friends and family. WhatsApp, being one of the most popular messaging applications in the world, lets you send pictures, animations, stickers, contacts, and videos. It is also fully integrated with YouTube and lets you share and watch your videos directly from the conversations.

If you want to share your favorite YouTube videos with others, follow these steps: First, locate the content you want to send. You can use the search function to do this.

When you share a YouTube video, keep in mind that you will always do so via a link. This is important because it lets you share it with virtually any application. Although we have talked about WhatsApp in this guide, you could do the same with Telegram, Line, or Facebook Messenger. You could also attach it to your usual note application or in an email. Finally, it should be noted that thanks to the fact that the video is sent by link, we will not spend data from our data plan.
