WhatsApp has added a new feature to further boost the popular instant messaging app. Now, users will be able to send documents over phones.

The latest update is available for Android and iPhone users as of now. Users will be able to share documents with individuals as well as in groups they are part of. Users with version 2.12.453 for Android and 2.12.14 on iOS will be able to use this new feature, according to reports. 

Reports also say only PDF files stored locally can be shared. Support is not available for .xls or .doc file formats yet. 

To share a file, one needs to click on the attachment icon on Android and select the document option. iOS, users need to click the upload button which will allow them to access the 'Share Document' option.
