WhatsApp is working on a feature that will allow us to share files in a similar way to how we can do it using AirDrop (in the case of iOS) or Nearby Share (in Android). In accordance with wabeteinfoa portal specializing in news and updates for the messaging app will soon be possible. Send photos, videos and other documents to people close to you.
This feature is currently in development and there is no date yet for its availability on WhatsApp for Android or iOS. Details about his work are also scarce. Apparently To activate the option you will need to shake the device; This will cause the app to open a request to share files with people nearby. The user must then select the person nearby on the screen and wait for the recipient to accept the file.
wabeteinfo states that files shared using this feature will be fully encrypted.
The new WhatsApp is another alternative to AirDrop and Nearby Share.
However, it is unclear what the true purpose of this feature is. A priori, sharing files with loved ones from WhatsApp can be a much simpler and more intuitive way than, for example, sending them via chat. AND This makes special sense, first of all, for those users who do not have WhatsApp add-ons. Well, apparently the phone number will not be displayed if the sender does not have the recipient added to his contacts.
Anyway, new WhatsApp feature Now we can do this on our smartphone without the need for apps. In case of iOS users, they can use AirDrop. On the other hand, on Android there is Share nearby, which works similarly; If both people activate it, they will be able to share files in seconds. Now there is no way to share files between iOS and Android, since there is no uniform transfer technology. Therefore, the new WhatsApp feature can also be useful in this case.
Moreover, it seems that the WhatsApp feature is not designed to send files of the highest quality, as the messaging app already allows for that. The platform, in particular, offers the ability to share files up to 2 GB in size, as well as high-resolution photos and videos. To do this, the user just needs to enter the chat, click on the option to send media, click on “Documents” and choose whether to attach a document as such or an image or video from the gallery.
