Instant Video Messages, an updated feature that was initially tested previously this year on both iOS and Android devices, has now been officially released on WhatsApp which is a messaging service owned by Meta. As the name suggests, WhatsApp now allows you to send brief video messages to your family and friends in addition to voice communications.
“Video messages are a real-time way to respond to chats with whatever you want to say and show in 60 seconds”. “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,” WhatsApp said in a blog post.

In the chat window for WhatsApp, the bottom-right voice messaging button now serves two functions. To toggle between video and audio messaging modes, touch on it. You may simply hold down the button to begin capturing a video for sending as an instant video message on WhatsApp.
When you withdraw your finger from the record button, the video will be immediately delivered, similar to voice messages. According to WhatsApp, video communications are also encrypted from end to end and may be locked and recorded hands-free by just swiping up.

A WhatsApp video conversation can be recorded for up to 60 seconds.
When the receiver accesses the chat window, the video message will immediately begin playing on mute, they may tap on the video to activate the audio.
Videos as communications are not a new concept. The functionality has been available on Telegram for a while and it functions similarly. In addition, the feature of WhatsApp to send video messages is currently being released and will be available to all customers in the weeks to come.
This year, WhatsApp released several new features, including status reactions, the ability to save vanishing messages, connectivity to multiple cellphones, the ability to edit sent texts, Conversation Lock, the ability to block unknown calls, and contextual sticker compatibility.
Additionally, sending messages to unfamiliar telephone numbers has become simpler thanks to instant messaging software. Without first adding the contact information to their contacts, users may SMS contact information from within the app.
