"WhatsApp Developing AirDrop-Style File Sharing Feature for Android"
WhatsApp is reportedly developing a new feature that would allow users to share files with nearby devices, similar to Apple's AirDrop. The feature is still in development and would require users to shake their devices to activate a request and be in close proximity to the recipient. The shared files, likely photos and videos, will be end-to-end encrypted, and phone numbers will be kept private when sharing with non-contacts. It's unclear when the feature will be available and how it will differ from AirDrop in terms of functionality.
