WhatsApp, owned by Meta, is reportedly testing a new feature that lets users share photos and videos with nearby users even without internet. They’re also working on adding a dialer within the app, according to Business Standard.
This new feature allows users to share various files like photos, videos, and documents with nearby WhatsApp users. It’s currently being tested in the beta version of the app. However, the in-app dialer is not yet available for testing and is only in the early stages.
To use this feature, users need to be near other WhatsApp users. Once they’re close enough, they can share files through a locally-created network. Meta has also provided an option for users to revoke these permissions whenever they want.
After visiting Islamabad and Lahore, President Raisi and his team came to Karachi. They were welcomed warmly by Sindh Chief Minister Murad Ali Shah, Governor Kamran Tessori, and other important people in the government.
Recently, Meta introduced its AI assistant, Meta AI, to WhatsApp, Instagram, Facebook, and Messenger. Mark Zuckerberg, the CEO of Meta, announced this addition on April 18, stating that Meta AI can answer questions, create animations, and generate images.
WhatsApp also added a new feature on iOS that lets users create custom stickers. This update allows users to edit images from their camera roll to make unique stickers. They can cut elements from photos to create personalized visuals, and even add graphics, drawings, animated effects, and more.
