The beta version of the WhatsApp messenger (owned by Meta – recognized as extremist and banned in the Russian Federation) has a function for sending video messages. About it informed portal WABatInfo.

WhatsApp is introducing a new video messaging feature in the latest iOS and Android beta updates that allows you to share short videos up to 60 seconds long.

It is clarified that while this option is available only to a limited number of beta testers, but in the coming weeks it will become available to a wide range of users.

On June 8, WhatsApp officially introduced the channel function within the messenger. Channel admins will be able to post messages, photos, videos, stickers, and polls. Subscribers only have the option to view the content. The channels are currently available to select organizations and media outlets in Colombia and Singapore, and will roll out to all regions in the coming months. Any user can create a channel.
