WhatsApp has started rolling out a new feature Allows users to send video messages to other contacts And it’s already in the latest beta versions of the app for iOS and Android devices.
This tool mimics the functionality of voice messages, But with the camera, as WABetaInfo reported in late March, users can record and send short videos of up to 60 seconds.
This function, It was initially in the TestFlight beta program for iOS -version 23.6.0.73- It does not allow video message storage or forwarding and keeps this content encrypted with the Meta Service’s End-to-End Encryption (E2EE).
The same portal has now discovered that WhatsApp enables video messaging through the latest iOS and Android beta updates; A feature that will be extended to more users in the coming weeks.
In particular, this feature is, on the one hand, part of the beta update for iOS 23.12.0.71, which is available through the TestFlight program, and the beta version of WhatsApp for Android 2.23.13.4, which can be downloaded from Google Play.
WABetaInfo commented that those who accessed these updates will have a new button in the bottom bar of the interface. It introduces the video camera icon.
Also, although these messages cannot be forwarded through the app, it does qualify that they can be saved through screen recording.
