A really must-have new feature is set to roll out to the consumer version of WhatsApp soon. For the time being, it is only accessible to beta testers of the very popular messaging application.
The testers of the beta version of whatsapp for android should start enjoying a new tool in their favorite messenger: screen sharing. It will thus be possible for them to record what appears on the screen of their smartphone or to broadcast it. This feature, which we remember will be available on Android 14 in an even safer version, will also be useful for creators of content, tutorials and other video guides, as well as professional or budding computer troubleshooters.

As mentioned by the site specializing in everything related to Meta’s flagship messaging application, the availability of this new tool involves some changes in the interface of the mobile application. Indeed, after installing WhatsApp beta version 2.23.11.19 on Android, testers will notice that the bottom navigation bar has changed in appearance. The tabs will be arranged in the following order: Chats, Calls, Communities, and Status.
WhatsApp allows you to share the content of your smartphone screen
To broadcast or record the content of your screen, all you have to do is tap on the appropriate icon, a arrow pointing away from a smartphone. WABeta Info specifies that “when you decide to share your screen, everything displayed there is saved and shared with the recipient “. You will be able to stop streaming or sharing at any time, and this feature is only available if you have given WhatsApp express permission to share your content.

Screen sharing is a resource-intensive feature. It will therefore not be available on the least recent Android smartphones, and could present bugs when you want to use it during video sessions with too many participants. In the same way, they will all have to use the most up-to-date version of the application to take full advantage of screen sharing.
