WhatsApp has launched another new feature. The feature will be available soon. Some of the competition’s products were faster.
Mountain View – WhatsApp has been updated with new features over the years. Only recently was the option to create polls added, which makes voting in group chats much easier. New anti-rip-off features have also been introduced. Now Mark Zuckerberg has presented the latest WhatsApp feature in a Facebook post: screen sharing.
WhatsApp has never had this before: a new screen sharing function is being introduced
A photo is also included in the announcement post. Here you can see what the function will look like. Most of the smartphone display is taken up by the split screen. The participants in the video conference are displayed on the right-hand side.
As part of the introduction of screen sharing, there is now also the possibility to make video calls in landscape format on Android and iOS, like the portal The Verge reported. This should create a “broader and more intense viewing and sharing experience,” according to WhatsApp.
WhatsApp screen sharing update is coming in a few weeks for Android, iOS and Windows
The possibility of sharing your own screen in a video call is already available in many other programs such as Google Meet or Microsoft Teams. Sharing the screen is always very similar in terms of how it works. Even WhatsApp is not an outlier here. Like the portal CHIP explained, you only have to press the “release” button on WhatsApp. And the other video call participants can also see their own screen.
After the announced WhatsApp update, Android, iOS and Windows users will be able to take advantage of the new feature, company spokeswoman Ellie Heatrick confirmed The Verge It will be rolled out worldwide in the coming weeks. Another useful feature of WhatsApp is vacation mode. (sp)
