WhatsApp rolling out 'Bluetooth-like' feature for file transfer?

Ever wondered about the convenience of sharing files with people nearby on WhatsApp? WhatsApp plans to revolutionise the file transfer feature for its users.

The Meta-owned platform has announced an upcoming update that's about to make your file-sharing experience even smoother, according to WABetaInfo. WhatsApp is on the brink of introducing a new feature for Android users, and we've got the inside scoop.

In its latest beta version, WhatsApp is cooking up a file-sharing functionality that will allow users to effortlessly exchange files with those in close proximity. 

Once the feature is rolled out, you will be able to share files with your friend by opening a designated section on the app, ensuring a secure channel for sharing files. To initiate the process, a simple shake of the device will generate a share request. 

And, there's the icing on the cake – the entire exchange is end-to-end encrypted, guaranteeing the security of your files beyond the confines of a WhatsApp chat, even in unfamiliar network environments.

The advantages of this upcoming feature are crystal clear. It's a game-changer for situations demanding a swift and direct file transfer. Whether you're at a meeting, a conference, or just hanging out, the ability to seamlessly share files with nearby individuals adds significant value to the WhatsApp experience. 

Privacy-conscious users can breathe easy too, as the phone numbers stay concealed from non-contacts, offering a layer of security to every file exchange.

As WhatsApp fine-tunes this feature before its official release, it's evident that the platform is committed to elevating user experience. The development team is hard at work, ensuring that this file-sharing enhancement caters to a variety of scenarios.
