The feature, dubbed “Nearby Share,” will enable users to send various file types, including photos, videos, and documents, to nearby devices. This functionality is designed to work across both iOS and Android platforms, allowing seamless file sharing between different operating systems.
Security and Encryption
The “Nearby Share” feature will utilize end-to-end encryption, ensuring that the files shared are protected and cannot be intercepted by third parties. This aligns with WhatsApp’s existing security standards for messages and other data.
