WhatsApp video voice notes are now a thing

Take your conversations up a notch with this new feature.

WhatsApp constantly continues to stay ahead of the curve. And this time around it has introduced yet another exciting feature. Say hello to instant video messages. Building on the success of voice notes, WhatsApp now allows you to record and share short videos directly in chats. That’s right. You can now share your thoughts, emotions and experiences more dynamically and engagingly.

This new feature adds a new layer of expression to your chats. Think of it as a real-time way to respond to conversations, all within a concise 60-second window. Whether it’s sending birthday wishes, sharing a hearty laugh or delivering good news, video messages will be able to capture the essence of the moment with vivid emotions. Pretty cool, we think!

Now you must be wondering how to send a video message on WhatsApp. It’s easy as pie, but make sure your Whatsapp is updated before trying this new feature. Once ready, all you need to do is follow this step-by-step guide.

1. Open the chat with the person you want to send your video message to.
2. Locate the mic button that you would use to send voice notes and tap it once. The icon will change to a video camera, implying the video message mode is activated. 
3. Much like recording a voice note, long press the video camera icon and continue recording your video message.
4. If you’re happy with your video message, tap send or press delete and re-record.

Videos play automatically on mute when opened in a chat and tapping on the video initiates sound playback. Just like your WhatsApp chats, even the video messages are shielded by end-to-end encryption, ensuring your private moments remain just that – private.

Now you must be wondering what’s the difference between sending a video and a video message on Whatsapp. While videos are media files that you can share, a video message is a quick burst of communication captured in video format. Picture it as a Snapchat snap in your WhatsApp chat.

WhatsApp is once again redefining the way we connect and share our lives with friends and family. So if you haven’t jumped on this video messages bandwagon already, update your app and start sending some right – your chats will never be the same again.
