WhatsApp prepares to send documents through its chats
The messaging application continues with its round of news and improvements. And it seems that WhatsApp is determined to change its image from a static and carefree tool for the needs of the most demanding users. Thus, we have witnessed a notable evolution of this chats tool in which, practically on a weekly basis, features such as have been added highlight messages, include cards with link information or new smileys Now, a new clue tells us that WhatsApp is preparing to allow sending and receiving documents to through conversations.
This is revealed by its translation service A tool in which any user can collaborate volunteer to localize the application to their language, allowing the application to reach more users with a language appropriate to each territory. Well, this translation service sometimes gives clues of what is to come by bringing small texts and even single words to users for translation. Exactly what has happened now with notable references to the word Documents
This news does not take us completely by surprise, since last October something similar happened in the translation service for the iPhone version Now, however, it happens for the platform Android, which could mean that the supposed function to send and receive documents is one step closer to becoming a reality. Of course, we would still have to go through a test stage to later reach the majority of users
In particular, this translation service has shown volunteers the word Documents (documents in English). A clear indication of this function that becomes even more interesting when reading its description line, which reads: screen title Documents Something that gives the clue about the supposed next menu that can be found in WhatsApp and that, apparently, will collect these exchanged files, not yet knowing which formats and file types will be accepted. But there is more.
Along with this word others have also been added that show the intention of WhatsApp to give certain management options to the user about his collection of documents. Questions like Sort, Sort by name or Sort my date clearly show the intention to allow to sort the documents in this menu by name or by date, if we look at its literal translation. Among the new translation lines of WhatsApp there is also one referring to the absence of documents: No documents found And this system collects all the possible messages, phrases and buttons that may appear in the final version of the application, so that they appear in the language of the user and be a more useful application without language barriers.
Now, at the moment nothing else is known about this function, of which for now it is only known of its existence by the translation system of WhatsApp, without any official confirmation.However, there are already many clues that have been pointing in this direction: the translation of the iPhone version, the recent updates that have modified some 300 files without adding or removing functions, and the recent attitude of the team responsible for an application that does not it only grows and evolves. We will still have to wait to see what all this translates into.
