WhatsApp: New AirDrop
WhatsApp is tipped to be getting a new AirDrop-esque or Nearby Share-like feature that lets you share files with users nearby, according to WABetaInfo.
The WhatsApp-focused platform discovered the feature being tested within the latest WhatsApp Beta for Android (update 2.24.2.20), which is currently available in the Google Play Store.
WhatsApp is working on a new file-sharing feature
The new file-sharing perk will allow users to beam files to other users nearbyà la AirDrop and Nearby Share.
Thanks to WABetaInfo, we have a screenshot of the feature in action.
It looks like the new file-sharing utility will allow WhatsApp users to send and receive files to anyone in close proximity. As such, there's a section that lists nearby WhatsApp users you can share files with.
There’s also a section that describes your visibility to nearby users, and whether your number is hidden to non-contacts.
Interestingly, in order to share files with another user, the person on the receiving end must shake their device, allowing them to see your share request.
The screenshot highlights that the file-sharing perk is end-to-end encrypted.
WhatsApp is experimenting with the file-sharing feature for now, but according to WABetaInfo, it's expected to roll out to the wider public in the near future.
