Whatsapp Launches Document Sharing by bigt2(m): 4:37pm On Mar 02, 2016
NEW DELHI: A new WhatsApp update has
added the document sharing feature, which
many rivals of the messaging app already
have, on Android smartphones.
. . The document sharing feature of WhatsApp
allows users to only share PDF files for
now. This means that there is no support
for .doc, .xls and other commonly used file
formats; there is no official word on when
the company will start supporting these.
In order to share files, you need to tap the
attachment icon on the top right of the
screen in a chat window and select the
'Document' option. This opens a list of PDF
files stored in the system, but the navigation
does not let you open specific folders.
This update, however, has not been
released to all Android users via Google
Play. Those who are yet to receive the
document sharing feature can click this link
and download the install file directly from the
official website.
. . The new feature for Android comes just a
day after WhatsApp added
new features to its iPhone app , including
cloud storage integration for sending photos
and videos.

This is okay but they can still do better. BBM can share anything "sharable" and that's why pple still prefer it to whatsapp...

You are lying, bro. You just misused the word "anything". Can one share a file of 980MB on BBM or even just 25MB sef? undecided People prefer it because they are yet to try Telegram and most are satisfied with BBM and Whatsapp.

Just install the new update, it shouldn't be up to 15mb.
