WhatsApp has made it even easier for its 1 billion active users to communicate, adding the option to share documents in a chat. This feature is rolling out today (Mar. 2) as a server-side update to users who have the most recent version of the app, so you may need to nudge your friends to update.
While document sharing is landing on both iOS and Android versions of WhatsApp, it works slightly different on each platform. ;)
On Android, you first tap the Paperclip icon and then select the Document icon. Then you will be shown a list of the documents available for sharing on your device.
After Android users share a document, it will appear in the Media/WhatsApp Documents folder, and the file's contents will be searchable in WhatsApp.
On iOS:
1. tap on the upload arrow to find the Share Document option.
2. Select a source (including iCloud Drive, Dropbox and Google Drive)
3. hunt for the file you want to share.
(notes:WhatsApp's document sharing only supports PDFs now）
While you're sending the file to your friend, you both see a preview of the document with its total page count and file size.
