You can try this it will help for you.You can't get path from WhatsApp directly.If you need an file path first copy file and send new file path. Using the code below

 public static String getFilePathFromURI(Context context, Uri contentUri) {
    String fileName = getFileName(contentUri);
    if (!TextUtils.isEmpty(fileName)) {
        File copyFile = new File(TEMP_DIR_PATH  + fileName+".jpg");
        copy(context, contentUri, copyFile);
        return copyFile.getAbsolutePath();
    }
    return null;
}

public static String getFileName(Uri uri) {
    if (uri == null) return null;
    String fileName = null;
    String path = uri.getPath();
    int cut = path.lastIndexOf('/');
    if (cut != -1) {
        fileName = path.substring(cut + 1);
    }
    return fileName;
}

public static void copy(Context context, Uri srcUri, File dstFile) {
    try {
        InputStream inputStream = context.getContentResolver().openInputStream(srcUri);
        if (inputStream == null) return;
        OutputStream outputStream = new FileOutputStream(dstFile);
        IOUtils.copy(inputStream, outputStream);
        inputStream.close();
        outputStream.close();
    } catch (IOException e) {
        e.printStackTrace();
    } catch (Exception e) {
        e.printStackTrace();
    }
}

Then IOUtils class is like below

public class IOUtils {



private static final int BUFFER_SIZE = 1024 * 2;

private IOUtils() {
    // Utility class.
}

public static int copy(InputStream input, OutputStream output) throws Exception, IOException {
    byte[] buffer = new byte[BUFFER_SIZE];

    BufferedInputStream in = new BufferedInputStream(input, BUFFER_SIZE);
    BufferedOutputStream out = new BufferedOutputStream(output, BUFFER_SIZE);
    int count = 0, n = 0;
    try {
        while ((n = in.read(buffer, 0, BUFFER_SIZE)) != -1) {
            out.write(buffer, 0, n);
            count += n;
        }
        out.flush();
    } finally {
        try {
            out.close();
        } catch (IOException e) {
            Log.e(e.getMessage(), e.toString());
        }
        try {
            in.close();
        } catch (IOException e) {
            Log.e(e.getMessage(), e.toString());
        }
    }
    return count;
}


}
