With WhatApp becoming a must have Instant messaging app in every smartphone is getting new features to suit the users needs. Recently WhatsApp got support for File sharing restricted to only PDF files and this will be changing with this new update. With the latest version of WhatsApp, v2.12.535 now users can send and receive not just pdf files but also files from Google Docs and Sheets.

Although WhatsApp is sending only PDF files even with this update, the app will convert Google Docs and Sheets from Drive files into PDF format and send them across. This does not seem to be a permanent feature but is quite useful to share files on the go. Now WhatsApp even supports text formatting which can help in stressing a particular word or sentence which cannot be expressed with an emoji.
