Video messages: This is the new feature of WhatsApp for iOS that Telegram already had

A novelty is on its way. This is WhatsApp Video Messages still in beta for iOS 23.7.0.77 on TestFlight.

Although there are still not many details about the launch, it is believed that it will arrive soon for iPhone and soon for Android, so all that remains is to wait for indications from the Meta app.

According to recent information from WABetaInfo, he explained that WhatsApp will soon launch a new update that consists of sending video messages that, unlike sending a clip from the gallery, this feature will try to record the material in real time.

The new WhatsApp video messaging feature for iOS

For now, the web has shared in a general way what this new WhatsApp feature for iOS is all about.

This way the recipient can see that the video was recent and it will be much more casual. Likewise, this audiovisual material cannot be downloaded to the device, let alone it will be possible to share it with other contacts, for better protection of information.

However, what is possible is to record the screen while the video is playing, since it does not have any display mode, just like the images that delete themselves after a certain time set by the user.

Video messages are still in development and it is not known when they will officially arrive on WhatsApp.

As we mentioned, video messaging has been available on Telegram for a long time, exactly since 2017, and it seems that WhatsApp has seen an untapped market in the feature, which is why it is developing its own version. We’ll see how they do when they’re released.

WhatsApp recently improved its app for Windows to support conversations with up to 32 people and added new features to groups.
