What are the new WhatsApp features and why should we be careful?

There is no doubt that WhatsApp has become indispensable in daily life. It is one of the most popular messaging applications in the world, with more than two billion users.

Over the past few years it has made a number of changes to improve the user experience.

The latest is the new Screen Sharing feature that allows your WhatsApp contacts to display everything on your smartphone screen.

Live view from the screen

Except you have to be careful.

As “screen sharing” aims to allow users to display excerpts from the websites they browse, the documents they view, or even show how to access the features on the application or device, according to the British newspaper “Daily Mail”.

In explaining more about the new update, Meta said in a press release that whether you're sharing documents for work, browsing photos with family, planning a vacation or online shopping with friends, or just helping grandparents with technical support - the new feature allows you to share a view. Live from your screen during the call.

Hide what you don't want others to see

Once it is released in the coming weeks, users will see a 'share icon' in the app and once they tap on it they will be given the option to share a specific app or their entire screen.

But while this sounds helpful, just be sure to hide anything you don't want other people to see before you start sharing your screen!

It is noteworthy that many applications such as Google Meet, Microsoft Meet, Zoom, and FaceTime from Apple already offer this basic feature, as you use it with traditional video conferencing.
