WhatsApp feature tracker wabetainfo saw a new video message feature on WhatsApp beta version 23.12.0.71 for iOS and WhatsApp for Android on WhatsApp beta version 2.23.13.4, which is present next to the chat bar below the screen.
According to the information shared by the feature tracker, you can tap on the microphone icon in WhatsApp chat window, which is replaced by the camera icon. This will let you record a video message, whose length can be up to 60 seconds. The tracker says that if you receive a video message, you can sing a single tap on it to enlarge it. The audio will be muted by default, which can be done.
Units 360 was unable to test this new feature on the latest version of Whatsapp for Android. However, the feature tracker says that it is expected to roll out for more users in the coming weeks.
Whatsapp is placed under the end-to-end encryption on WhatsApp, along with text messages, attachments as well as voice and video calls. These messages cannot be forwarded to any other chat and you can only send video messages that have been captured through your phone camera. However, it is worth noting that a person receiving video messages can record his screen content to share video messages with another chat or group.
