Often when there are functions or ideas that serve in the most efficient way possible, there will always be people who want to be inspired by them for their own projects, which is why we have seen products from others that are sometimes cheaper and meet the same quality. And in the world of technology, WhatsApp It took several ideas to make the app a specific way to send messages and now it’s thinking about ways to send files faster.
According to what is shared on the networks, file transfer methods are being developed that can be quite similar Airdrop, which allows users using the same Apple line of products to share files, from stored photos to PDF files, via Bluetooth. Regarding this WhatsAppYou have to go through two steps, the first is to detect a nearby cell phone or tablet and the second is to send to the specific person within the chat and not directly to their file tray.
For now it is only mentioned that the function is in a kind of beta stage, so no one can test it directly, and as has been the case in several cases, in the end it may not come like other implementations that were leaked but they did not come for one reason or another.
Here is a small preview:
It is worth mentioning that the files sent, as well as some chats in the application, will be end-to-end encrypted, so they are not at risk of being leaked or compromised by other types of elements who send content to each other. Of course, it can be another option to use AirDrop, and sometimes this function usually fails depending on Bluetooth reception, and so people can use WhatsApp while the other is restored.

Editor’s note: Yes, it’s a fairly clear copy of detecting and then sending devices, but there’s no mention of whether they could be on a common layer and, for example, sending from Android to iOS and vice versa, which would be an advantage. And Apple restricts only devices of the same brand.
