First you have to figure out what type of file WhatsApp is exporting. – rmaddy Apr 02 '16 at 16:31

@rmaddy I know it's zip but my problem is adding my app to sharing options. – mTuran Apr 02 '16 at 17:09

@rmaddy Problem is not supporting zip files, problem is my app does not show at whatsapp sharing. Other apps like gmail etc.. there is no problem. – mTuran Apr 02 '16 at 17:27

It seems WhatsApp is using a UIActivityViewController instead of a UIDocumentInteractionController. So there is no way to get your app listed unless your app implements the proper app extension. I see the Google Drive app listed as an option and your screenshot shows the Pocket app. Those two apps must implement the appropriate app extension to appear on the list.
See the App Extension Programming Guide. You probably need to implement either an Action or Share extension to get listed.
