New Delhi: WhatsApp, an instant messaging app, is testing a new feature reportedly, through which files can be easily shared with nearby friends. This new feature will work using Bluetooth, which they have hidden in the latest Android update of WhatsApp. Meanwhile, Google and Samsung recently upgraded Android's default file-sharing system, Nearby Share, and renamed it Quick Share. This new feature will allow easy file sharing between Android phones and computers using Chrome OS and Windows.

Although this new WhatsApp feature seems quite useful, but it also seems a bit boring after the 'Quick Share' feature of Google and Samsung. But if all this will work on both iOS and Android phones, then it can prove to be a game-changer. Otherwise, other platforms are already providing good ways to send files.
