This new function allows both knowing when a document will be downloaded in its entirety to the recipient’s device or uploaded to the platform’s servers to be sent within a chat.
As reported by WABetaInfo, following advancing the information, this new function already arrived on WhatsApp Desktop last March and this week it is being rolled out among some Beta users on both Android (v2.22.8.11) and iOS. (v22.8.0.74).
To offer this information to the user, a percentage is shown just below the document in question and, to its right in parentheses, the estimated time for the operation to reach 100 percent.
The new option is available to Beta users in Argentina, the only country so far in which WhatsApp allows sharing documents up to 2GB in size.
