WhatsApp Beta Introduces 60-Second Video Messages and Redesigned Action Buttons
WhatsApp is continuing its trend of introducing new features with the latest testing of video messages and redesigned action buttons. These updates aim to enhance efficiency and improve user convenience within the popular messaging app.
WhatsApp’s New Feature: Short Video Messages
The video messages feature, currently being tested in beta updates for both Android and iOS, allows users to share 60-second video messages with their friends and family. This feature initially appeared in WhatsApp beta 23.6.0.73 for iOS devices and later in version 2.23.8.19 for Android. Although it is currently available only to beta testers, it is expected to be released to all users in the near future.
To use the video messages feature, users can tap on the microphone button within the chat bar, which will transform into a video camera button. Upon sending or receiving a video message, users can tap on the clip once to enlarge it and listen to the audio. It is important to note that this feature is also end-to-end encrypted, ensuring the privacy and security of users’ communications.
Redesigned Action Buttons in WhatsApp Beta
In addition to video messages, WhatsApp is also working on redesigning the action buttons for the home screen, currently applicable only to Android users. The beta version 2.23.13.4 introduces newly designed switches and floating action buttons that follow the Material Design 3 guidelines, aiming to provide an enhanced user experience.
To witness these changes, users can access the settings section of the app. If using the mentioned beta build, they will encounter a new interface with redesigned toggles and floating action buttons. These buttons adopt a squarish shape with rounded corners, reflecting the visual updates.
It is important to note that the redesigned action buttons are currently visible only to WhatsApp Business account holders. While these features are still in the beta phase, they will be rolled out to all users in future official versions of the app.
WhatsApp’s ongoing commitment to introducing new features demonstrates its dedication to enhancing user experience and maintaining its position as one of the leading messaging platforms worldwide.
