WhatsApp brings in new short video message feature for faster communication
WhatsApp has finally introduced a new feature of short video messaging to make communication easier and faster
WhatApp has introduced yet another useful and innovative feature of short video messages to make communication more interesting, easier and faster.
The calling and text messaging platform, which already provides its users the opportunity to send lengthy voice notes and other media, will now allow the them to send instant short videos to their loved ones.
According to a blog post of WhatsApp, users can send the video messages up to 60 seconds long, which will automatically play on mute when a recipient opens a chat.
This is different from the voice message feature in which messaged do not auto-play.
Users can send a video message by tapping the existing voice message icon to convert it to video mode.
WhatsApp has long offered the option of sending videos, but the new video message feature removes a couple of steps in the process, making it quicker and more immediate.
If they work the same way as voice messages, which exist solely within WhatsApp, video messages should also avoid cluttering up your phone’s camera roll with short single-use clips.
The video message feature has been rolling out on WhatsApp on both iOS and Android since at least last month, and WhatsApp’s blog post says the feature will be available to “everyone in the coming weeks.”
