It adds both the percentage downloaded and the time it will take (aka ETA) for the document to completely download on your device. This feature is currently available on WhatsApp beta editions with v22.8.0.74 on iOS and v2.22.811 on Android devices. It is currently available for v2.2209.3 of WhatsApp desktop.
Apparently, WhatsApp is testing out a feature that lets it share files up to 2GB which isn’t something it can do for now. The test is ongoing for selected users in Argentina. The users will get the ETA on the downloads and uploads alike, giving them an exact idea of how much time it will take for the document to upload or download on the platform.
