WhatsApp Launches New Video Messaging Feature on iOS, Android Beta | Details here

WhatsApp’s new feature is only available to a select few beta testers and will gradually roll out to more users over the coming weeks.

WhatsApp new feature: Here comes good news for WhatsApp users. Meta instant messaging application introduces a new feature called video messaging with their latest beta updates to the users. The new WhatsApp feature can be used by both iOS and Android users, allowing them to share short videos of up to 60 seconds with other users.

“It’s worth noting that video messages are always end-to-end encrypted so no one outside the conversation, not even WhatsApp, can access them,” WABetaInfo announced.

Right now, the new feature is only available to a select few beta testers and will gradually roll out to more users over the coming weeks, WhatsApp said.

The new feature allows the WhatsApp users to send a video message to fellow beta users who have the updated versions of the app.

This new feature allows beta users to record and send video messages, WABetaInfo reports.

During a call, when users press and hold the microphone button in the chat bar, it changes to a video camera button.

Recipients can identify when they receive a video message by making sure it was recently recorded, which will greatly increase authenticity.

In addition, video messages are end-to-end encrypted to ensure that no one outside the conversation, not even WhatsApp, can access them.

The ability to record and share video messages is currently available to some beta testers on Android and iOS, and is expected to roll out to even more users in the coming weeks, the report said.

Last week it was reported that the messaging platform was rolling out a new feature on Android and iOS beta that allows users to send high-definition (HD) photos.

While this feature preserves image dimensions, it still applies a small amount of compression to the image, making it impossible to send photos in their original quality.
