The app is testing a feature that will allow users to send real-time video messages. This means that you will be able to record and send short videos of up to one minute in length instantly.
The sense of immediacy provided by this feature offers a unique experience compared to uploading pre-recorded videos that are saved for later upload.
The latest beta versions of WhatsApp for iOS 23.12.0.71 and Android 2.23.13.4 revealed the presence of this new feature.
How will the new feature work?
Currently, to send a regular voice message, users need to press and hold the microphone icon located in the lower right corner of the conversation.
However, in the beta version of WhatsApp, there is a novelty: when you tap on this icon, it turns into a video camera icon, making it possible to record and send messages in video format.
When receiving a video message, recipients can see that it was recently recorded, which helps to increase its authenticity.
This addition promises to bring a more dynamic and engaging communication experience to messenger app users.
Apple announces interesting feature for iOS 17
Recently, Apple announced a new feature that will be introduced in the iOS 17 update, expected to be released in September.
During the Worldwide Developer Conference (WWDC) this year, the tech giant unveiled the functionality of automatically transcribing voice notes and voicemail messages.
This new addition will allow iPhone users to have their voice messages automatically converted to text as they are transmitted by senders.
Instant transcription of voice messages will bring greater convenience and accessibility to users, making it easier to follow and understand the content of audio messages.
For now, it is not yet known whether WhatsApp will implement a similar function, and there is no concrete information about the release of the video message feature for all users.
