WhatsApp will soon make it easier for users to know what document is being shared with them with the help of the new Document Preview feature. The feature is being tested with Android beta users and will be similar to how users can already preview the content of the shared links, a feature that was introduced last year.
The new WhatsApp feature was spotted WABetaInfo, known for passing on WhatsApp-related information. Document Preview is being tested as part of WhatsApp for Android’s beta version 2.22.5.11.
This feature will allow for easier sharing of photos and videos of documents. This is also similar to how users can see a preview of a PDF file shared on the Meta-owned messaging platform. The new feature is currently reaching a few beta testers and is expected to be made available for the general audience soon. Although, the exact time of arrival remains unknown.
More features like a redesigned contact info section, a camera UI, and more are also expected to be introduced for users this year. We will keep you in the loop once this happens. Hence, stay tuned for more information.
