WhatsApp Working in app nearby file sharing Feature

WhatsApp is working on a new feature that allows users to share files with nearby contacts. The new beta version of WhatsApp on Android (2.24.2.17) has a feature that allows file transfer via Bluetooth. Recently Google and Samsung improved the built-in file-sharing feature on Android, Nearby Share, and renamed it Quick Share. Here we are telling you about the upcoming feature of WhatsApp.

This new capability will allow file sharing between Android phones and Windows and Chrome OS PCs. Compared to common technologies like transferring files over chat or using cloud storage, it provides users with a faster and better solution by transferring files up to 2GB in size.

WABetaInfo’s AccordingBoth users must be in the “People Nearby” area of ​​the app and remain there in order to transfer. End-to-end encryption makes it clear that file sharing is as secure as WhatsApp’s default setup. It is worth noting that users will have to shake their phone to start sharing. End-to-end encryption provides security for privacy while effectively managing file transfers.

This new function will be useful for the normal WhatsApp user. However, it does not seem to be very important considering the recent Quick Share upgrades by Google and Samsung. If it works on both iOS and Android, then this function of WhatsApp can be very useful. WhatsApp’s file-sharing function is reportedly being developed and may be available in the upcoming version of the app. However, it is not clear when it will be brought to the stable version of the program.

Let us tell you that recently Meta revealed 4 new features for WhatsApp channel users. The messaging platform has also expanded the features available in the channel, which provides the facility to have multiple admins, send audio messages, start polling and publish updates from the channel on WhatsApp status.
