“You can now preview your text and confirm and cancel the operation when sharing from a third-party app to multiple two or more contacts”
WhatsApp has been updated with a new multi-share feature, which offers a preview of the text being shared with multiple contacts from third-party apps. The new feature is available for beta version 2.18.366 and is soon expected to make its way to the stable version.
The feature was first reported by the Twitter user WABetaInfo.
