File-sharing feature in WhatsApp's Beta app Credit: WABetaInfo It looks like the new file-sharing utility will allow WhatsApp users to send and receive files to anyone in close proximity. As such, there's a section that lists nearby WhatsApp users you can share files with.
There’s also a section that describes your visibility to nearby users, and whether your number is hidden to non-contacts.
Interestingly, in order to share files with another user, the person on the receiving end must shake their device, allowing them to see your share request.
The screenshot highlights that the file-sharing perk is end-to-end encrypted.
WhatsApp is experimenting with the file-sharing feature for now, but according to WABetaInfo, it's expected to roll out to the wider public in the near future.
