WhatsApp developers are enhancing messenger features, including local file sharing and contact notes. Stay informed with the latest updates.
Local File Sharing via WhatsApp
WhatsApp is introducing file sharing via local networks, allowing users to exchange photos, videos, and documents offline. Screenshots from WhatsApp 2.24.9.22 Beta for Android reveal the testing phase, detailing permissions required for this feature. Users can revoke permissions anytime, ensuring security with end-to-end encryption.
Adding Notes to Contacts
Another addition is the ability to add notes to contacts. WhatsApp beta 2.24.9.17 for Android introduces a notes field on the contact sheet for users to include relevant information. These notes remain private and are not visible to the contacts. This feature will extend to the WhatsApp web version, providing consistency across platforms.
Both features are currently in beta testing, with no confirmed launch dates yet, notes NIXSolutions. As WhatsApp continues to evolve, we’ll keep you updated on any developments.
