WhatsApp, the popular messaging app, is known for constantly introducing new features and updates to enhance the user experience. Once again, WhatsApp is preparing to roll out a feature that will significantly benefit its users. The upcoming feature will allow users to use WhatsApp without an internet connection. Users will be able to share photos and videos without needing to be online. Let’s delve deeper into this new feature from WhatsApp:
Use WhatsApp Without Internet
WhatsApp is soon going to introduce a feature that will enable users to use the app without an internet connection. Currently, WhatsApp doesn’t function without internet connectivity, which often causes inconvenience to users when they need to transfer important files, photos, and videos. To address this issue, WhatsApp is likely to launch a new feature that will allow users to share photos and videos easily without an internet connection. This will be a standalone feature that will provide users with the option to share files, photos, and videos using a local network, thereby bypassing the internet.
To use this feature, users will need to turn on Bluetooth and grant certain permissions to the app. According to a report by WABetaInfo, WhatsApp is preparing to launch a local file-sharing feature that will allow users to share photos, videos, and documents easily. However, to use this feature, users will need the ‘nearby’ feature. Once this feature is turned on, users will be able to easily transfer their files.
According to some reports, to use this feature, WhatsApp users will first need to go to settings and turn on their Bluetooth. Then they can send any files to others. It’s important to note that these files will be end-to-end encrypted, just like other texts on the instant messaging app.
This feature will require Android permission to function. For offline file sharing, it’s necessary that the device with which you are sharing the file also has the offline file-sharing feature available. This feature could be rolled out in an upcoming update of the app.
For this feature, permission will also be needed to identify, connect, and get information about the position of nearby devices. Users can turn off this permission whenever they want. It’s worth mentioning that work is currently underway on this feature. There is no specific release date or time information available yet for this feature. However, it is expected that WhatsApp could soon introduce this feature. In addition to this feature, WhatsApp is also working on several other features, including chat filters and photo editing.
