Video messages on WhatsApp
WhatsApp already has an in-app camera so you can still record videos and send them within the app. But the idea behind video messages is to send “instant video messages” on WhatsApp. You will be able to record and send 60-second videos on WhatsApp, and it will be as easy as sending voice messages.
How to send video messages on WhatsApp
- If you want to send a video message, you will just have to tap on the microphone button to switch to the video button.
- You can then press and hold to record a video message.
- You can also swipe up to lock the screen and record the video hands-free.
- Whenever you receive a video message, it will play on mute but you can tap on it for the audio.
WhatsApp says that video messages like any other content on the app are end-to-end encrypted. You will also be able to react to the video messages with different emoji, and reply to them individually. Mark Zuckerberg announced the new feature yesterday on the Meta Channel on Instagram. Since the feature has just started rolling out, it will take a few weeks to reach all users on both Android and iOS.
WhatsApp has been rolling out several updates recently. Earlier this week it added chat transfer without iCloud backup to iPhone, landscape mode for video calls, and a redesigned sticker tray on iOS. WhatsApp also finally launched a dedicated Wear OS app.
