How to send a document from your phone to WhatsApp - in detail?

To send a document from your phone to WhatsApp, follow these detailed steps:

1. Open WhatsApp: Start by launching the WhatsApp application on your phone. Ensure that you are logged into your account and have an active internet connection.
2. Select the Contact or Group: Navigate to the chat with the contact or group where you want to send the document. You can do this by tapping on the chat from the list of conversations, or by searching for the contact or group name in the search bar at the top of the screen.

3. Access the Attachments Menu: Once you are in the desired chat, look for the attachment icon, which is usually represented by a paperclip. This icon can be found in different places depending on your phone's model and WhatsApp version. Common locations include:

   • At the top of the chat screen, next to the camera icon.
   • In the bottom left corner of the chat screen.
   • In the bottom right corner of the chat screen, within a set of icons (camera, gallery, document, contacts, etc.).
4. Select 'Document': Tap on the paperclip icon to open the attachments menu. From this menu, select the 'Document' option. This will allow you to choose and send a document from your phone.
5. Choose the Document Type: After selecting 'Document', you will see a list of document types that WhatsApp supports. These include PDF, DOC, DOCX, RTF, TXT, XLS, XLSX, PPT, and PPTX. Tap on the type of document you want to send.
6. Select the Document: You will now be able to browse your phone's storage for the specific document you wish to send. Navigate through the folders until you find the desired document. Once located, tap on it to select it.
7. Preview and Send: After selecting the document, WhatsApp will open a preview of the file. Review the document to ensure it is the correct one. If satisfied, tap on the 'Send' button (usually represented by an arrow or a checkmark) in the top right corner of the screen.
8. Confirm Sending: Once you have tapped 'Send', WhatsApp will ask for confirmation before sending the document. This is to prevent accidental sends. Tap on 'Send' again to confirm and transmit the document to the recipient.
9. Wait for Delivery: After confirming, the document will be sent to the contact or group. You can see the status of the delivery by looking at the message bubble. A checkmark indicates that the document has been delivered, while two checkmarks mean it has been read (if the recipient has read receipts enabled).

By following these steps, you can successfully send a document from your phone to WhatsApp. This method allows for easy and efficient sharing of important files with contacts or groups directly within the messaging app.
