We just started the week and We already have news of another news coming soon to WhatsApp. Recently, on several occasions I have presented the latest announcements and tests released in beta versions to demonstrate that Meta has its act together with its instant messaging service (well, one of them, since we must remember that they also have Facebook Messenger ).

It actually makes all the sense in the world, WhatsApp is still the most widely used instant messaging service in the world today.although this is largely due to the fact that it arrived first and achieved popularity, thereby gaining many users who remain loyal to this service despite other alternatives for convenience, habit, environment, etc. They are much more complete in terms of features, security and next.

As I recalled a few days ago, after the disaster her devotion to the Metaverse caused to the Metaverse, those responsible assumed that it was necessary to focus on other products and services of the company, with WhatsApp as the predominant point in the said plan. Of course, that doesn’t mean they’re abandoning their commitment to virtual reality and all that can come from it, and as proof we have the news we brought you this morning of plans to launch Meta Quest 3. , which will no doubt try to fish in the turbulent waters already very close to Apple’s augmented reality browser.

So if last week’s news was the ability to edit messages and tests with usernames, today we start the week knowing that Meta is testing the screen sharing feature in WhatsApp. More precisely, and as we can read in WABetaInfo, the technology company began to deploy this feature in the beta version (2.23.11.19) of its Android client and integrated it into the functions available from the application when we have a video. conferencing over the service.. However, the deployment seems to be selective as not all users with this version already have this feature.

Screen sharing definitely does excellent function in many circumstancessuch as reproducing a procedure so that another person can learn how to do it, or being able to guide a user to try to solve a problem on their device, with the ability to check their configuration while following our instructions.

But it will be necessary to look at the level of control that this feature offers to the user who is sharing his screen. It is likely that in this implementation all its content will be shared, including system notifications, but for more practicality, it would be necessary that in the future it allows us to choose whether we want to share the whole screen, i.e. the whole screen except for notifications, a specific application, etc.
