WhatsApp has introduced a new feature that will allow users to send all types of files and documents on the app.
Engadget reports that while the initial roll out of document attachments last year was limited to PDFs, users can now share any file type.
However files are limited to 100MB according to WhatsApp’s website, but there are reports that iPhone users can send slightly larger files.
The latest update also includes swiping up from the in-app camera to see videos and images from the gallery, sending multiple pics as an album, and simpler text formatting.
The messaging app will now group multiple photos as a gallery. This feature essentially means that when a user sends five or more photos, they will appear in an album now, rather than one below the other.
Meanwhile, WhatsApp will display the first five images as thumbnail photos, with the fifth picture displaying the number of additional photos that have been delivered.
Further text-formatting, which includes bold, strikethrough or it italicises has been made easier by the messaging app. Now users can simply tap and hold text to select the part they want to format
These changes are the latest tweaks to the app.
Last year, WhatsApp launched video calling and earlier this year, two-step verification was rolled out to all of its users which was followed by Snapchat-style status updates, Siri integration and photo filters.
The new update is rolling out globally for Android and iOS devices.
