WhatsApp is enhancing its status feature for both iOS and Android users by allowing them to post longer voice notes and videos. The Meta-owned messaging app now enables users to share voice notes up to one minute in length as status updates.
This new feature allows for more detailed communication, enabling users to convey their thoughts and stories without interruption. To record a voice note, users simply need to hold down the mic button, similar to sending voice messages in chats.
In addition to longer voice notes, WhatsApp is also expanding the video posting capabilities in its status feature. Users can now share extended video clips, which is useful for capturing and sharing events, announcements, or any moments that require more than the previous 30-second limit. This update makes it easier to share more meaningful and comprehensive content through status updates.
According to WA Beta Info, these new features can be accessed by updating the app through the Google Play Store or the Apple App Store. The updates also include improvements to the viewing of status updates, allowing users to decide who can see their content. This increased control over audience selection ensures that users can share their updates with the intended recipients.
These enhancements to WhatsApp’s status feature reflect the platform’s commitment to providing users with more versatile and expressive ways to communicate. By enabling longer voice notes and videos, WhatsApp continues to expand its functionality and improve the user experience.
