WhatsApp, always at the forefront of communication, wants facilitate your communication with nearby people without having to take their phone numbers. It will do this through its new functionality, still in the development phase, to share files via QuickShare. I explain to you what you can use this new function of the most used messaging app in Spain for.
WhatsApp will add a function to share with nearby people
Sometimes we need to share files with other people and one of the fastest ways to do it is, of course, through WhatsApp. When it is a friend or family member, we usually already have them on our contact list and we can send them the video, photos or files we want. But when we have to send a file to a person outside our contact list we need your number to establish file sharing.
This can be burdensome, especially when we know that we are not going to interact with the recipient of the file again. For these cases where the interaction with the other user will be unique and we will not have to maintain contact with the recipient, WhatsApp will include the function of sharing with nearby people.
Surely it can be shared with other operating systems
This new functionality will be based on a tool that we already know to send documents between Android devices, which which we know as QuickShare. But now, after what happened this year with the new market laws in Europe, we will surely see how this technology also reaches iOS and other systems.
This is the result of WhatsApp's desire to become the most popular messaging app in the world, and they are doing merits to achieve it. Imagine being at a party with many people and you don't know some of them but you happen to take a photo with a group. If you know those who appear in the photo, there is no problem sending them the snapshot, but if you don't know them, you have to ask them for their number and what that entails.
Well now you can send them the photos without having to ask for the phone number of the photo receiver. This is a much less invasive way that will have thousands of uses to interact with people without adding them to the agenda.
And yes, although we already have this function with QuickShare on Android and other forms of communication with nearby people such as MiDrop for Xiaomi devices, the arrival of this function in WhatsApp is promising Since if the app itself facilitates this function, we will surely see it in action often. But at the moment, we don't have it and we will have to wait for it to be definitively launched.
This feature is still in the development phase
Although we will soon have access to this functionality we will still we will have to wait for the testing phase to be completed and include it in the final version of WhatsApp.
In principle, this function It would be available for Android phones in the coming months. Now, we definitely do not know if this functionality will be launched at the same time for all operating systems or if it will come to Android first and then to other systems such as iOS.
What is definitive is that in Androidsis We will be attentive to all WhatsApp news to inform you of all its news.
