Whatsapp Android Version 2.12.489 Lets You Send PDF Documents(For Now)

By

Send Documents Directly With WhatsApp

WhatsApp had the functionality to share flies like Audio, Video and Photos. But there is still some functionality missing in it i.e Document Sharing. Which is now available with the latest WhatsApp Update Version 2.12.489.  For now one can only share PDF documents. You won’t be able to send .docx or .doc file format.

Document Sharing feature is not available in the Google Play Store but one can directly download from the WhatsApp.com website. This feature is also available for iPhone. But since I am Android user, I am sharing only details for Android OS. Here, is the link to download Android App https://www.whatsapp.com/android/. The security settings of Android will not allow you to install directly from WhatsApp site. To enable the installation  you have to make changes in your Security settings Security >> Device Administration >> Unknown Sources. By enabling this feature you will allow installation of apps from unknown sources. For your own security, its better to disable this option once you install WhatsApp on your phone.



To share the document one has to tap on the paper clip icon on the top of your contact chat window. The first option Document will allow you to share the PDF documents. To accommodate Document sharing and maintain the aesthetic of its three columns two rows design, WhatsApp has removed the Video sharing and moved both video and photo sharing in the same Gallery option. Thus, don't get panic if you don't see the Video sharing icon after the update. You can still share the video through Gallery.

Facebook's Pop-Out Floating Video in News Feed for Desktop Users

By
Looks like Facebook is again testing the feature for Pop-Out video that floats in the news feed while scrolling news feed up and down. Facebook first tested the same feature in 2015 but was not made available for all desktop users. As of know it still seems to be in testing phase as I am not able to see this feature in the same MacBook for different browsers. Like I am able to watch the pop-out and scrolling video in Firefox browser but the same is not working in Chrome browser. The floating video option is made available through 2 options. One is a Video Pop-Out button in the current played video. You have to click on that blue pop-out button to get video moved to left hand side of the news feed.

By default, auto play for videos is enabled on both the mobile and desktop version of Facebook. Many users never mind to disable this feature. Imagine what will Facebook earns when they will start rolling out video ads for all user generated videos. The ad will run after around 20 seconds of your video watching and deliver 5-15 second mid-roll video ads. Over the period of time I got to see Facebook Pop-Up videos when I scroll the news feed on desktop. This popup video is one step towards making more money through Facebook in videos ads. If you scroll while watching the video, the ad will not be visible to you. So, to make ads visible the video will pop-out from your news feed and will be running and visible throughout your scrolling. Yesterday, while watching a video about edible water orbs shared ...
