After testing the Screen Share in beta for almost a couple of months, WhatsApp finally rolled it out to all users across the globe. The feature, as the name implies, lets you share your phone’s and PC’s screen with others during a video call. But, not everything can be shared and WhatsApp also has some security measures in place. That said, here are 10 things you can and can’t do with WhatsApp’s new Screen Share feature.
Can do: Share phone or PC screen with others
WhatsApp new Screen Share feature allows users to share their phone or PC screen with other users during an ongoing video call. This also means that the Screen Share only works when a video call has been established.
As mentioned, Screen Share in Whatsapp only works during ongoing video calls. It is available for both individual and group chats.
Can do: Preview documents, files, web pages and more
Screen Share allows users to preview documents, files, web pages, videos, photos and other things from their phone or PC to others.
Can do: Offers privacy screen for banking apps and services
WhatsApp has added a privacy screen for banking apps and services as well as some sensitive things. As a part of this, WhatsApp automatically blacks out the screen when entering a password or while sending money using UPI or banking apps.
