WhatsApp is rolling out a new Android update through the Google Play Beta Program and with this update, the version number increases to 2.24.7.6. This update brings a new feature for beta testers. Videos up to 1 minute long can now be shared via status updates.
What’s new in WhatsApp Android beta version 2.24.7.6?
In the recent announcement about the WhatsApp Android beta 2.24.6.19 update, we learned that WhatsApp was working on the feature of referring to people in status updates.
With this new update, the duration of videos in WhatsApp status updates has been increased from 30 seconds to 1 minute. The development team realized that users were constantly requesting longer video content and this feature would be quite useful for many people.
The previous limitation caused users to face some difficulties when sharing their content, but now these restrictions have been removed and users will be able to share their videos more freely through status updates.
Listening to WhatsApp voice messages is becoming history! Here is the new feature
WhatsApp will offer a new feature for Android users, allowing them to convert voice messages to text.
This feature is currently only available for beta testers and the WhatsApp team is working to make this feature available to a wider range of users by taking users’ feedback and fixing possible bugs.
Beta testers who installed the WhatsApp Android beta 2.24.7.6 update can now try this feature by sharing longer videos in their status updates. More information about when this feature will be available to all WhatsApp users will be shared soon. What are you thinking?
