The latest update of the WhatsApp messenger brings a new feature that allows participants of a video call to listen to music and watch recordings in real-time. This new function, discovered by the service WaBetaInfo, will be added to the application in the future. Currently, it is available in the testing version for Android (2.23.26.18) and iOS users.
To use this feature, it is necessary for the users to have an ongoing video call and the screen sharing function enabled. This way, both sides of the conversation will be able to listen to the exact same music track or video clip. The person sharing the media from their own device will be able to transmit any playing sound. It should be noted that this feature will not be available during regular voice calls or muted video calls.
Although the intentions of the WhatsApp creators are not yet clear, this new feature has the potential for both work and collaborative education purposes. It can be useful during joint multimedia projects, presentations, and even group lectures and conferences. The participants will be able to listen to recordings in real-time and discuss them, planning changes in the project or asking related questions.
It is worth noting that this feature is currently in an early development stage and may undergo changes before being introduced in the stable version of the messenger. There is no exact release date information yet, but it can be expected in the new year.
