New Delhi: WhatsApp keeps its users engaged with new features and updates for the platform. It now appears that Android phones are steadily lagging behind iOS in the eyes of app developers. Screen sharing is available during FaceTime chats on iOS phones, as well as other video call services like Zoom and Microsoft Teams, according to the Mashable website. You will soon be able to share screen on WhatsApp on Android smartphones as well.
I’m sure the functionality will come in handy for playing Wordles with your partner, viewing holiday schedules, showing your friend the Instagram profile of someone you like, and other useful endeavors. According to WABetaInfo, the WhatsApp beta for Android version 2.23.11.19 will let some beta testers test the screen-sharing feature. It will reportedly be made available to more users in the following days.
However, Engadget notes that older Android handsets may be unable to handle the update, and you’ll be unable to use the function on calls with too many people or if the person you’re talking to doesn’t have updated WhatsApp. Is.
To use the feature, after you’ve updated the app, click the icon of a phone with an arrow pointing up — this button will be next to other tools, like muting. According to photos from WABetaInfo, you’ll then see the “Start recording or casting with WhatsApp?” And a disclaimer about how WhatsApp will handle that information when you disclose sensitive credentials, including passwords, photos and payment details. When you click “Start Now,” you’re off to the races.
Reportedly, WhatsApp is said to be developing new features like username, archive status and others to make the app more dynamic and user-friendly. It will also have app language and message draft filters, password reminder feature and other features.
