WhatsApp, the popular instant messaging app from Meta, is finally rolling out screen sharing for video calls to all users. The feature was first introduced in beta in 2023 and is now available to all users on Android, iPhone and Windows desktop apps.
WhatsApp offers screen sharing during video calls, allowing users to share their phone screens with other participants. With this feature, you can share your screen while having a good time with friends or presenting visual information in a business meeting. However, it is important to be careful when screen sharing because the other party can see your entire screen and your sensitive information and passwords may be exposed. Therefore, you should take care to protect your privacy when screen sharing.
WhatsApp guarantees that screen sharing is protected by end-to-end encryption and is never recorded by WhatsApp. No one outside the conversation, not even WhatsApp, can see or hear you sharing your screen.
How to Use Screen Sharing
Using the screen sharing feature is quite simple:
Start a video call.
In the video call interface, tap the screen sharing icon (usually a screen icon with an arrow).
Confirm if you want to share your screen.
Tap “Stop Sharing” to stop screen sharing.
Another New Feature Coming to WhatsApp

With the new update released a few days ago, WhatsApp chat filtering is now available to everyone. You can try this new feature by updating WhatsApp.
These new features further enhance the WhatsApp user experience, making it easier for both personal and professional communication.
