In the video of the new tool, the new function icon appears, in addition to the notification that will appear on the screen when the function is activated. To activate the new feature, simply press a button, to start sharing the screen in the video call. The tool can be used in video calls between two users and in group calls.
When activated, windows containing participants' faces will be displayed at the top of the shared screen. The new functionality is similar to features already available in video calling programs, such as Zoom and Google Meet. Thus, WhatsApp has become increasingly integrated for users who also use the messenger for business meetings.
File sharing
In addition to the new tool that was released, WhatsApp is considering launching a new feature soon, with the aim of making life easier for its users. Hence, the messenger is considering allowing file sharing to anyone close to the smartphone with the app. The new function will work similarly to AirDrop between Apple devices.
According to the images released by the WABetaInfo portal, both users involved in the transfer will need to open the sharing section to be able to send and receive files. The feature has been made available to some users of the beta version of the app, where previously enabled tools are offered for testing.
According to WABetaInfo, file transfers will be encrypted end-to-end, with the cell phone number remaining hidden from anyone not on your contact list. So far, there is no information about when the feature will be available to all WhatsApp users.
