WhatsApp Introduces Offline File-Sharing Feature

WhatsApp is developing a new feature that will allow users to share files offline, even without an internet connection. This feature will use Bluetooth to detect nearby phones with the same feature enabled. Users will have control over permissions for nearby device discovery, system file access, and location, ensuring a secure file-sharing process. WhatsApp will encrypt shared files to protect user privacy. This new feature will make file-sharing within WhatsApp more convenient and accessible, especially in areas with limited or no internet connectivity.
