Video messages: WhatsApp announced a remarkable innovation!

2023-07-31 16:00:48

WhatsApp is planning something round. Short clips will appear in circles, not in the regular rectangle. The video option is already partially available – in the next few weeks all users will find it in their app.

Encrypted and silent

Tapping the small microphone button at the bottom right will soon switch to video mode. A video can be recorded if the button is held down. If the recipient opens the message, the message is played silently first. Video messages are end-to-end encrypted just like any other WhatsApp functionality.
