WhatsApp is working on a nice surprise for Android users
WhatsApp, one of the most widely used social media platforms in the world, is currently working to bring screen sharing feature to Android.
WhatsApp, renowned for its continuous updates and enhancements, is about to introduce a long-awaited new feature: screen-sharing on Android devices. This feature promises to enhance user experience by allowing the sharing of smartphone screens during video calls, aiding in showcasing content or soliciting assistance.
According to information leaked by WABetaInfo, the screen-sharing feature is now accessible on the Google Play Store for those who have downloaded the newest beta version of WhatsApp, 2.23.11.19. A new icon, appearing at the bottom of the screen during video calls, triggers this function. Clicking the icon prompts a pop-up window to seek the user's permission to share their screen, with a clear disclaimer that all content on the screen will be visible to other participants in the call. Users retain full control over the feature, being able to terminate screen sharing at any moment by clicking the "Stop Sharing" button.

This upcoming WhatsApp feature bears notable similarities to Google Meet's Live Sharing feature, launched a few years back, as well as Apple's SharePlay feature, available across iOS, iPadOS, and macOS devices. The new screen-sharing capability on WhatsApp could be especially beneficial for users who may need extra assistance or guidance with their devices, such as elderly users or young children.
In WhatsApp's ongoing journey of feature expansion, the inclusion of screen sharing reaffirms the platform's dedication to providing diverse and user-friendly communication tools. Through the integration of screen sharing, WhatsApp aims to enhance the overall video call experience for its vast Android user base.
Other upcoming improvements rumored to be on WhatsApp's development roadmap include the introduction of usernames and a refreshed settings page, focusing on user customization and improved interface usability. Moreover, a password reminder for end-to-end encrypted backups has been recently introduced. There's also a new feature that empowers users to edit messages, providing more control over their dialogues and ensuring a smooth messaging experience.
