Years after its launch, the Facebook-owned WhatsApp Messenger has finally received the ability to send documents over chats. The feature is visible in the most recent builds available via Google Play and the App Store - Android v2.12.453 and iOS v2.12.4. WhatsApp has also introduced a bunch of other features with the updates.
On Android, the WhatsApp v2.12.453 that's available from Google Play for some users shows a 'Document' section instead of 'Gallery' under attachments (seen above). Not all users with the same app version are able to view the option at the moment. However, those users on the latest app version available from the company site - v2.12.489 - are able to see the option. For now, users can only send pdf files but the file support is likely to expand in the future. It is worth mentioning that a user cannot send a document until the receiver has also updated the app to the same or newer Android app version. However, we tried sending a document from iOS v2.12.14 to Android v2.12.489 over WhatsApp and it worked fine.
