WhatsApp Update: A few days after replacing the old design with a premium-white interface, WhatsApp, as usual, has once again rolled out a new feature. Recently, the Meta-owned instant messaging platform made a big change to status updates to please its more than 2.4 billion active monthly users, which will now allow uploading of video and audio clips for up to 60 seconds. That is, to post favorite videos or voice notes as status on WhatsApp, you don't have to divide them into small parts. However, only select users will be able to enjoy this feature for now, according to WhatsApp's feature tracker WABetaInfo.
WhatsApp has doubled the duration of video-audio status uploads
Until now, video, audio status can be shared on WhatsApp with a time limit of only 30 seconds. But now that time limit has been extended up to 1 minute which allows users to share their feelings, moments etc. with their contacts better. WABetaInfo has spotted this update on WhatsApp's Android beta version 2.24.7.6. Hopefully, this feature will be available for all iOS and Android users very soon.
This feature is coming to community groups
But not just status updates, WABetaInfo has learned that WhatsApp is also testing a new feature for community groups, which in the near future will give users the option to set reminders for their events, mainly community admins. That being said, reminders can be set 30 minutes, 2 hours or even 1 day before a scheduled event. This allows members of a community to keep up with events
Note that this reminder set feature is not available to beta testers right now.
WhatsApp will also get the option of AI-based profile photo set
It has already been reported that WhatsApp is working on a new feature that will allow users to create AI-generated profile photos based on their interests, personality and mood. As reported by WABetaInfo, the platform is testing this feature in Android version 2.24.11.17.
