With the most recent software updates, WhatsApp already made it possible for anybody to record and share video chats, but the company is still working on fresh improvements for this feature. The company is currently rolling out a new toggle for instant video messages. The new feature allows video messages to be recorded and sent in real-time. The most recent WhatsApp beta update for iOS and Android, however, is said to have incorporated the new feature in the settings. The function is turned on by default in the app’s settings and lets users share a quick video of up to 60 seconds.
Following the launch of a feature that enables users to send instant video messages on WhatsApp for iOS and Android, WhatsApp has continued to enhance it by adding a toggle to control the capability directly from the app’s settings. According to a report by WABetaInfo, some beta testers who install the most recent versions of WhatsApp beta for Android and iOS can use the functionality.
Specifically, certain beta testers may discover a new option directly within the app settings after installing the most recent WhatsApp beta updates for iOS 23.18.1.70 via the TestFlight app and WhatsApp beta updates for Android 2.23.18.21 from the Google Play Store.
With the most recent updates to WhatsApp beta for Android and iOS, it is now able to control the feature to exchange instant video messages, as shown in the shared screenshot. This functionality was previously activated by default, therefore it could not be turned off. Users may now control this feature and, if they so choose, disable it thanks to the new toggle.
As per the report, users of WhatsApp have the option to totally turn off this feature with this toggle, while still being able to send and receive video messages. It’s important to note that even if you don’t want to turn off video messaging, you should still check that option because some users have reported finding it switched off despite sending video messages in the past.
Some beta testers who install the most recent updates of WhatsApp beta for Android from the Google Play Store and WhatsApp beta for iOS from the TestFlight app can access the toggle to control the instant video messages functionality, and it will be made available to more beta testers over the next few days.
