WhatsApp is developing a feature to compete with AirDrop on iOS and Quick Share on Android, improving the way we exchange files. Although WhatsApp is the most popular messaging app, sharing documents can sometimes be tricky .
The upcoming feature will allow transferring files between contacts using WiFi or Bluetooth over a short distance, potentially replacing AirDrop on iOS and Quick Share on Android. Although this feature was discovered in January, its availability is close to being finalized.
How does the new feature of sharing files with people nearby work on WhatsApp?
WhatsApp will introduce a feature that allows users to find and share files with nearby users quickly and easily. This feature uses Bluetooth or WiFi to detect nearby devices, requiring both users to activate the feature to connect. WhatsApp assures that shared files will be encrypted and phone numbers will remain hidden.
To use this feature, users must grant specific permissions, including access to the device's files and location services. This feature is especially useful in areas with weak Internet connections, allowing for fast and efficient file sharing. Although there is no confirmed release date yet, this feature promises to simplify short-distance file sharing.
