WhatsApp users will see modifications in future updates that will mean a profound change when it comes to sharing files through the application. Right now it is in a state of development, but thanks to the tests of the programmers linked to the beta of the instant messaging platform, important new features can already be glimpsed that will be available in the coming days. We tell you all the details.
WhatsApp is positioned as the most used messaging application on the entire planet, with more than 2 billion active accounts, a figure that is overwhelming. Therefore, the Meta tool must be at the forefront of technology to offer the best functions and continue topping the ranking. Without going any further, an improvement has already been released that will be included sooner or later and that will modify the appearance of the documents we share through groups and private conversations. What exactly is it about?
The new appearance of files in WhatsApp
WhatsApp developers continue to develop various experiments to increase the user experience and take the application to another level. There are still many ideas in the pipeline that have been written down over the last few months, but they will surely appear in future patches, since they are being squeezed in the first instance by users who are within the testing program.
In December of last year there was talk of the possibility of exchanging photos and videos without compromising quality, something that its users have been crying out for for a long time and that seems to be integrated very soon. But while this is happening, innovation is also being made in the sending of documents with the aim of introducing substantial incentives.
According to what the examiners program says, the latest beta update of WhatsApp for Android 2.24.9.8 brings with it an addition that will be very appreciated by those users who tend to share files very frequently, but also by those who are less likely to do so.
As can be seen in the image, a document preview function is about to be implemented and it represents a big difference compared to the current version. Specifically, we are looking for a much more attractive interaction and to bring greater dynamism to the chat. Thus, you can see it in miniature and recognize at a glance what is being shared, in such a way that it will encourage you to open it, drawing more attention to how the file is received today.
Therefore, this implementation to view files in preview, such as PDF, Word documents and even photos and videos, constitutes a significant advance regarding the ability to distinguish between different sent elements, especially when they are usually shared in the same chat numerous files without titles in which it is barely indicated what is being received.
Without a doubt, this callsign will reinforce the multimedia content of WhatsApp, but we will still have to wait a while before we can enjoy this succulent update and take full advantage of it.
