-
Initiate the Call:
Start by making a voice or video call to the contact you wish to share your screen with. You can do this by opening the chat window with that contact and tapping on either the phone icon for a voice call or the camera icon for a video call at the top right corner of the screen.

Select the Screen to Share:
After tapping the 'Screen' icon, you will be prompted to choose which screen or window you want to share. You can select from:

After making your selection, tap 'Start' to begin sharing your screen with the contact. They will immediately see what you are seeing on your device.

-
End the Screen Share:
To stop sharing your screen, simply tap the 'Stop Sharing' button that appears at the top of your screen during the session. This will immediately end the screen share and return you to the regular call interface.
By following these steps, you can effectively share your screen with a contact on WhatsApp, making it easier to collaborate, provide support, or simply show someone what you are looking at on your device.
