(Web Desk) - WhatsApp has introduced another way for people to communicate with their family and friends in a quick and secure way.
The Meta-owned messaging app has rolled out the new instant video messages. “Now you can record and share short personal videos directly in the chat,” it said in a blog.
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".
Sending a video message is as simple as sending a voice message. Just tap to switch to video mode, and hold to record the video. You can also swipe up to lock and record the video hands-free. Videos will play automatically on mute when opened in a chat, and tapping on the video will start the sound. Video messages are protected with end-to-end encryption to keep your messages secure.
Video messages have begun rolling out and will be available to everyone in the coming weeks.
