WhatsApp users can now record and share short personal videos of up to 60 seconds directly in WhatsApp chats, Meta says.
The new feature was announced last Thursday.
Meta said the video messaging feature builds on their voice message feature, allowing users to send short personal videos directly in chats.
“Video messages are a real-time way to respond to chats with whatever you want to say and show in 60 seconds,” Meta’s 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.”
Like text and voice messages, instant video messages are protected with end-to-end encryption for security.
Meta said the new feature has begun rolling out and will be available to all users in the coming weeks.
