How to send any type of file by WhatsApp

WhatsApp had already been testing new features for its small group of beta users for some time, including the ability to send any type of file. If we take into account the time we spend using WhatsApp, it was absurd not to have this service. There are many jobs that depend on WhatsApp. Documentation that, in the end, ends up being sent through this system, faster and more direct than mail. Starting today, this feature is extended to all users.From now on, we can all send any type of file via WhatsApp In addition, in a very practical and simple way.

I want to send a file via WhatsApp. How do I do it?

Man does not live by photos alone. We consume text files, compressed files, PDF files on a daily basis… And we need communication channels that make things easier for us. WhatsApp, starting today, puts it on a tray. The types of files that can now be sent through the messaging service are ZIP, APK and many others. To do this, open any chat window. In the bar where we write, in the clip icon, is where the magic happens. Press and then choose 'Document' Simply browse through the different files offered by the device, or click on 'Search other documents' if It's a very recent download. Press and send. It's that easy.

The deployment of these new features will gradually be made available to all users. Just keep the app updated to the latest version and all you have to do is wait. Wait, in addition, for other functions that are also in full launch. Like group the photos into albums, so that when we send a few, they don't all end up in a column. Until now, if we sent more than 6 photos, they would all be in a row, one after the other, resulting in a very unsightly way of presenting the downloads.

Now when you send a pack of photos, they'll look just like when you post them on Facebook: a square montage of some of them and the rest grouped into one, with the number of photos superimposed. We can see how it looks thanks to the captures we have made for such purposes.

As you have been able to verify, now sending several photos on WhatsApp is going to be much more aesthetic, as well as grateful when it comes to being able to take a general look at the snapshots. Before it was very annoying to scroll to the beginning of them and download them, in the case of not having activated the automatic download.

Another change, this one a little less striking, refers to the call interface Until now, to hang up and pick up, we had to make a movement from left to right or vice versa. Now this changes, having to slide up and down to pick up, or press to hang up. The call interface is thus much more elegant and polished, as we can see in the following screenshot.

If you want to be able to access all these functions now, you can download the APK of the beta version at this link.
