With the help of the new Document Preview function, WhatsApp will soon make it simpler for users to understand what document is being shared with them. Users will be able to preview the content of shared links, a function that was introduced last year. This feature is now being tested with Android beta users.
WhatsApp Introducing a Way to Preview Documents
The new WhatsApp feature was discovered by WABetaInfo, a website known for disseminating information about WhatsApp. The beta version 2.22.5.11 of WhatsApp for Android is testing Document Preview.
The recipient will get a sneak preview of what is in the document when a user shares photographs and videos in the form of a document. The preview, however, appears slightly pixelated in the current version. As soon as WhatsApp hits its stable version, we anticipate improvements. Currently, a shared document just displays its name and document type for casual users.
It will be simpler to share documents’ photographs and videos thanks to this functionality. The preview of a PDF file sent via the messaging platform operated by Meta works similarly. The new functionality is now being tested by a small number of beta users and is soon to be made available to the entire public. Although the precise arrival timing is yet undetermined.
For the benefit of those who are unaware, WhatsApp has been observed testing a number of features. It was recently observed testing the option to include a cover photo in addition to the profile picture. As of right present, this is being tested for business accounts. Then, WhatsApp is anticipated to roll out a new Communities section so that group administrators may better manage their groups from a single location.
This year, further features such a revamped contact info area, a camera user interface, and others are anticipated to be released for users. Once this occurs, we’ll keep you informed. So, keep checking back for additional details.
