As you must already be aware, WhatsApp allows you to attach Photos, Videos, and Audio files to your WhatsApp message. However, it was missing the ability to send documents and PDF files, which has been added in the recent version of WhatsApp. The recent update has also added ‘End to End Encryption’ for WhatsApp, making it safer to share PDF Files, Word and other Documents on WhatsApp.
