Breaking: WhatsApp Tests Offline File Sharing for Nearby Devices for iOS
This feature is currently only available for iOS beta users.
Imagine this: you're on a trip with
stunning scenery, but your internet connection is as patchy as a dropped call.
You want to share those breathtaking photos with your travel buddies, but data
limitations or unreliable Wi-Fi stand in your way. Well, fret no more, WhatsApp
users – a potential game-changer is on the horizon.
Exclusive Scoop: Offline File Sharing on iOS
Thanks to a keen eye from the folks at WABetaInfo, we have an exclusive early look at a feature that could
revolutionize how you share files on WhatsApp for iOS. The latest beta update
(version 24.15.10.70) hints at the introduction of offline file sharing with
nearby devices.
This functionality, while still
under development, appears to differ from the approach taken on the Android
beta. Instead of relying solely on device detection, the iOS version might
employ a QR code scanning method to initiate file transfers. This could
potentially streamline the process and enhance user experience.
