Microsoft may not plan on releasing any huge new feature updates for Windows 10, but that doesn’t mean it won’t necessarily receive new features from time to time. Among other things, Microsoft released the “2024-03 Cumulative Update for Windows 10 Version 22H2 for x86-based Systems (KB5035845)” for Windows 10 during March’s Patch Tuesday. This update adds a new feature to the veteran Windows 10: You can now share files (text documents, PDFs, images, videos, etc.) from the File Explorer of Windows 10 directly via Whatsapp and other services, as Windowslatest reports. Sharing takes place via the Nearby Share feature, over Bluetooth or Wi-Fi.
Simply right-click on the desired file and then select “Share” and then “Whatsapp” from the list that Windows 10 then displays. Then select the contact to whom the file should be sent via Whatsapp.
Sharing via Gmail, Facebook, and LinkedIn is also possible in Windows 10. Windows 10 does not yet support X aka Twitter. However, Microsoft is set to bring sharing via X/Twitter with one of the next updates, according to media reports.
In addition to files, you should be able to share links via WhatsApp, Gmail, Facebook,
