The screen-sharing feature was introduced in the most recent update, version 2.23.11.19, as noticed by some beta testers and first noticed by WABetaInfo. A new option in the call menu enables users to share their screens with chat partners. WhatsApp warns users that the app will have access to the content displayed on the screen before enabling the feature.
