WHATSAPP INTRODUCES QUICK VIDEO MESSAGES: HERE’S HOW TO USE THEM

Fri 28 July 2023:

Mark Zuckerberg, the founder and CEO of Meta (previously known as Facebook), unveiled a new feature for WhatsApp on Thursday that allows users to record and share video messages in chats immediately. This feature seeks to make it easier and more enjoyable to share moments with friends and family.

How to use them?

The video message tool operates in the same way that a brief voice message does. Users can record a video message by switching to video mode with a single tap and holding. They can also swipe up to lock and capture the video hands-free. Each video message can last up to 60 seconds, allowing users to respond to chats in real time with whatever they want to say.

When a video message is opened in a chat, it will automatically play on mute, and users can tap on the video to enable the sound. The company believes this will enhance the emotional impact of the messages, whether it’s wishing someone a happy birthday, sharing a joke, or delivering good news.

Importantly, WhatsApp ensures that video messages are protected with end-to-end encryption, ensuring the security and privacy of users’ communications.

While WhatsApp has already offered the option to send videos before, this new video message feature streamlines the process and makes it faster and more straightforward. The update has been rolling out to both iOS and Android users, with availability expected for everyone in the coming weeks.

With this new addition, WhatsApp continues to enhance its messaging platform, aiming to provide a seamless and enjoyable user experience for its billions of users worldwide. The feature caters to the growing demand for visual communication and is likely to further strengthen WhatsApp’s position as one of the leading messaging apps globally.
