WhatsApp adds new video messaging feature

WhatsApp will now let users record and send video clips directly in the messaging app.

The new feature will be similar to sending a voice message on the platform and there will also be a way to record the video hands-free.

These instant video messages can be up to 60 seconds long, and are similarly protected with the app’s end-to-end encryption service.

In announcing the feature, Meta said “We think these will be a fun way to share moments with all the emotion that comes from video, whether it’s wishing someone a happy birthday, laughing at a joke, or bringing good news.”

Rollout of the new update has begun and will be available to everyone in the coming weeks.

Earlier this year, WhatsApp rolled out an update that lets users edit messages within 15 minutes after sending.
