WhatsApp Testing New AirDrop-like File Sharing Feature

The feature, currently in beta testing on Android, offers end-to-end encryption and does not reveal phone numbers when sharing with non-contacts.

WhatsApp is developing a new feature that allows users to share files with nearby devices, similar to Apple's AirDrop.
The feature is currently being tested in the beta version of the app on Android devices.
Users will need to shake their device to initiate a share request, and the file transfers will be end-to-end encrypted.
The feature will not reveal phone numbers when users share files with non-contacts, enhancing privacy.
The release date for the feature is not yet known, but it is expected to be available on both Android and iOS platforms in the future.
