WhatsApp appears to be working on a feature that will allow people to share files on devices next to each other.
According to WABetaInfo, the beta version (2.24.2.20) of WhatsApp for Android has a file sharing feature that works on nearby devices. Both participants in the exchange must have the People Nearby screen open. If users do not have another person’s phone number in their phone book, their devices are not visible to each other.
To create a sharing request, one of the two people who want to share files wirelessly must open the People Nearby screen and shake their device, reports SamMobile. It’s reminiscent of an iPhone file sharing app called Bump that was popular in 2011, as well as a money transfer method from Monobank. After all, it is about supporting files up to 2 GB in size. This feature is still being tested and may be released to WhatsApp users later this year.
It seems that this file sharing method can only be useful when sharing files between Android and iPhone devices. Otherwise, native file sharing methods on Android (Quick Share) and iOS (AirDrop) are easier and faster to use.
