More specifically, 3GP is the file format that is used for video streaming through the mobile phone, making it possible for those using this file format on their mobile phones to watch videos and even create videos.
3GP is actually the abbreviation for 3GPP (Third Generation Partnership Project). It is the format used by the new mobile phones as the format for media files.
