What are the limitations of mobile screen sharing?
Mobile screen sharing can be useful for collaboration or viewing things on another person’s phone but has platform limitations.
It can also be resource-intensive & could slow your device, and as mobile screens are smaller, it is not easy to display presentations or multi-task while sharing screens.
You might also have to turn off notifications and close private messages & pictures that you don’t want the other person to see.
There could also be a network connection, audio issues, and rapid battery draining, as screen sharing consumes much power.
So, these are the steps you can use the screen share feature on the WhatsApp app on your mobile device or computer.
