India Today
WhatsApp is rolling out a new ETA feature to improve your document sharing experience.
WhatsApp is working on several features to improve the overall messaging experience of users. One of them is message reactions, which is expected to arrive later this year. The company is also testing a way to allow users to create polls in group. Users might also soon be able to send big files of up to 2GB in size. Now, WaBetaInfo has spotted a new feature in the beta version of Android and iOS. WhatsApp is rolling out a new ETA feature to improve your document sharing experience.
As per the screenshots shared by WaBetaInfo, WhatsApp will now show you the estimated time of when the file or document will get downloaded or uploaded. This is a great feature as you can simply send a bunch of files, then see how much time it will take for the app to upload them, which will save a lot of time and one will be able to work on something else instead of just waiting for the completion of the process.
This feature will be useful when you are sharing big files or documents or videos with your friends and family members. The feature is currently only available for those who are using iOS, Android, and desktop beta version of WhatsApp. People who have signed up for the app’s beta program will immediately notice the change as the platform has already started releasing this feature.
Apart from this, WhatsApp is also working on one of the most important features and that is a 2GB file sharing limit. This is a much-needed feature as other platforms like Telegram already offer this to users. WhatsApp is one of the most widely used apps in India and it is not just used for messaging, but also for exchanging photos, videos as well as files. The new file-sharing limit feature is still in the testing phase and it is currently unknown as to when this will be released. The current file sharing limit is up to 100MB.
Besides, the messaging platform is also working on a feature that allows you to choose photo upload quality. The app will give users three options, such as Auto, Best quality, and Data Saver. All three are self-explanatory. This will be yet another useful feature that WhatsApp is planning to offer users in the feature. One can currently test this only in the beta version. In case you are unaware, WhatsApp automatically compresses the file size when you share it with anyone. This degrades the quality of the images and videos.
