WhatsApp now supports document sharing for Android

By: Zeeshan Akbar

CALIFORNIA: WhatsApp has launched a new feature for Android users which would allow you to send documents directly from the app.

This was one of the quintessential features WhatsApp lacked. Before if you needed to send a file, you had to rename the file with an extension that WhatsApp recognized and then send it across. For instance, if the file name was “office.pdf” it had to be changed to “office.jpeg” and the same workaround had to be followed by the receiver.

The Document Sharing feature is yet to mark its presence on the iOS and as of now it’s only available for the Android, but this doesn’t mean that you can’t send documents to an iOS user.
