Late last month, we saw WhatsApp test the ability to send media files of up to 2GB in size in Argentina. In addition to this, the Meta-owned messaging platform is now testing another nifty file transfer-related feature, which will show the estimated upload time for the file you are sharing with someone. Let’s take a look at the details.
The file transfer feature was recently spotted by reputable WhatsApp beta tracker WABetaInfo. It is reported that a new document sharing ETA feature is rolling out and will show the file transfer progress in the form of time and percentage left for a file to be sent to a recipient. You can check out the preview of the feature in the screenshot attached below.
The feature was spotted on WhatsApp beta for Android (v2.22.8.11), iOS (v22.8.0.74), and desktop (v2.2209.3) and is currently rolling out to some beta testers.
