WhatsApp introduces new video. Meta is implementing the feature gradually, so not all beta testers will see the update simultaneously.
WhatsApp is gradually rolling out a new feature that lets users post video status updates up to 90 seconds long, according to a report by WABetaInfo.
This enhancement is currently available to a limited group of beta testers and builds on a previous update that increased the video status limit from 30 seconds to 60 seconds last year.
With the new 90-second limit, users can now share longer videos without splitting them into separate clips, making the sharing process more seamless and convenient
WhatsApp’s New Status Feature Enhances User Experience
A screenshot shared by WABetaInfo highlights the display of WhatsApp’s latest feature.
Beta testers have noted that the increased video length significantly enhances their experience with the Status feature, offering greater creative flexibility and clearer storytelling.
Meta is rolling out the update in stages, meaning not all beta users will receive it at the same time. Still, the extended video duration is expected to be a welcome improvement for those who frequently use WhatsApp Status to share updates with their contacts.
With this upgrade, WhatsApp continues strengthening its position as a more expressive and user-friendly messaging platform in an increasingly competitive market.
