Voice messages on WhatsApp have transformed the way people communicate, offering a convenient and secure method to share their voices. The platform is now introducing an exciting enhancement to this feature with the introduction of instant video messages. Users can now effortlessly record and share short personal videos directly within their chats.
These video messages serve as a real-time means to respond to conversations with whatever one wants to express and showcase, all within a 60-second timeframe. The intention behind this addition is to provide a delightful way to share moments imbued with the emotions that video brings. Whether it’s conveying birthday wishes, sharing laughter over a joke, or delivering good news, video messages add an extra layer of depth to interactions.
Sending a video message is just as easy as sending a voice message. Users can switch to video mode with a simple tap and hold to record their video. For added convenience, there’s a swipe-up feature that locks and records the video hands-free. When a video message is opened within a chat, it will automatically play on mute, with the sound starting when the user taps on it. Furthermore, WhatsApp ensures the security of video messages by implementing end-to-end encryption, ensuring that the messages remain private and protected.
The rollout of video messages has already commenced, and over the next few weeks, this feature will become available to all WhatsApp users.
